Working Boy in New York City

[Verse 1]
Pray, hey, you are a working boy in New York City
You took the train to liberate your body and liberate your heart
You are trying to find a home, soon
Always the saddest when a friend can't make it
Love everyone along the way, you never had a chance to tell them
What you would like to do if the love permits you

[Chorus 1]
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
Everybody gets an evеn shot at making heaven
Wide is thе gate

[Verse 2]
Pray, gay, you are the holy boy outside the scriptures
Far and away from all the brightest sunbeams
You choose to stay and fight from the inside outside
Don't fight, make like the cutest owl and use your feathers
Make like the elephant and use your memory to pick a path
Make like a sleeping bird, dreaming of the morning

[Chorus 1]
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate

[Verse 3]
Pray, hey, God doesn't care about the way you're leaning
Once you are happy and you know yourself
Peace can come in your heart, you can make a new start
One day, we will be justified without the struggle
We will be recognised for what we do, not criticised or hated
Just for the way you are, you will be a star

[Chorus 2]
Listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Singing to the hope inside you
Listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Singing to the hope

[Chorus 1]
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
