F#m7
In the streets of New York City
B9
every man can feel the cold,
F#m7
and I don't want no pity,
B9
but I want my story told.
F#m7
And the lights shine down on me,
B9
they shine on the little boy,
F#m7
is this way to make him pay
B9
being born in a world of joy?
AAmaj7
But like me, he don't know where he'll go wrong,
Bm7
he won't cry so many tears
Dm
till he finds out why he don't belong.
AAmaj7
Like me, there's no room for us out there,
Bm7
you can lose your hope and pride,
Dm
when it comes to broken dreams
you'll get your share.

Sometimes a man breaks down,
F#m7B9
and the good things he is looking for
F#m7B9
are crushed into the ground.
F#m7
Get on up, look around,
B9
can't you feel the wind of change?
F#m7
Get on up, taste the air,
B9
can't you see the wind of change?
F#m7
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
B9
We need a god down here,
F#m7
a man to lead us children,
B9
take us from the valley of fear.
F#m7
Make the lights shine down on us,
B9
show us the road to go,
F#m7
help us survive, make us arrive,
B9
teach us what we need to know.
