Cheering for Me Now

So they're cheering for me now In the streets, hear them cheering for me now Right up Broadway, they're cheering for me now And one day, all the enemies I've made might hold their own parade But not today I came here with nothing Like hundreds before me And millions behind me You know you can find me in New York Where everyone's different But share the same island Polluted and loud But you're safe in the crowd Here in New York Today it's my city Tomorrow, who knows Today we're a country Let's see how that goes Upstate doesn't trust us They're safe in their saneness They're scared of what's strange But each corner means change Here in New York Where else can you wander And hear every language We fight like a marriage Then share the same carriage We suffer the weather We bind and we tether This nation together I'm just getting started And time's of the essence I can't say I've made it But I'd never trade it They've thrown a parade Ha! In my New York Cheering for me now Can you hear them cheering for me now
