Livin' in a city of immigrants 

I don't need to go travelin' 

Open my door and the world walks in 

Livin' in a city of immigrants 



Livin' in a city that never sleeps 

My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats 

Singin' in languages I don't speak 

Livin' in a city of immigrants 



City of black, city of white, city of light, city of innocents 

City of sweat, city of tears, city of prayers, city of immigrants 





Livin' in a city where the dreams of men 

Reach up to touch the sky and then 

Tumble back down to earth again 

Livin' in a city that never quits 



Livin' in a city where the streets are paved 

With good intentions and a people's faith 

In the sacred promise a statue made 

Livin' in a city of immigrants 



City of stone, city of steel, city of wheels constantly spinnin' 

City of bone, city of skin, city of pain, city of immigrants 





[All of us are immigrants 

Every daughter, every son 

Everyone is everyone 

All of us are immigrants

Everyone]



Livin' in a city of immigrants 

River flows out and the sea rolls in 

Washin' away nearly all of my sins 

Livin' in a city of immigrants 



City of black, city of white, city of light, I'm livin' city of immigrants

[All of us are immigrants, every daughter, every son] 

City of sweat, city of tears, city of prayers, livin' in a city of immigrants 

[Everyone is everyone, all of us are immigrants]

City of stone, city of steel, city of wheels, livin' in a city of immigrants 

[All of us are immigrants, every daughter, every son] 

City of bone, city of skin, city of pain, city of immigrants 

[Everyone is everyone, all of us are immigrants]

[All of us are immigrants (x2)]
