Do you hear the
sound of the subway track
pounding underneath your feet?
Can you hear the
people laughing
and taking pictures of
everything they see?

In this big, bright city,
in the middle of the day,
surrounded by the beauty of
everything.

I feel free,
I feel great,
I feel like nothing’s holding me back.
And in the bright lights
of this beautiful city,
I am me.

Standing on Broadway,
watching as people pass,
everyone looks so happy.
Underneath the
glittering lights,
everything feels just right,
living the New York City life.

In this big, bright city,
in the middle of the day,
surrounded by the beauty of
everything.

I feel free,
I feel great,
I feel like nothing’s holding me back.
And in the bright lights
of this beautiful city,
I am me.

As the cabs pass by
and the sky grows darker,
the city continues to bustle
and hustle,
never slowing down for a minute.

I feel free,
I feel great,
I feel like nothing’s holding me back.
And in the bright lights
of this beautiful city,
I am me.

And in the bright lights
of this beautiful city,
I am me.
I am free.
