[JIMMY]
They're cheering for me now
In my mind they're cheering for me now
Right up broadway, they're cheering for me now
One day soon all the jobs I had to do
Will make my dreams come true
It starts today

[MATEO]
I came here with nothing
Like hundreds before me
And millions behind me
You know you can find me in New York

[ENSEMBLE]
Cheering for me now
Can you hear them cheering for me now?

[ALEX]
Where everyone’s different
But share the same island
Polluted and loud
But you’rе safe in the crowd

[MATEO & ALEX]
Herе in New York
[ENSEMBLE]
Today it’s my city
Tomorrow, who knows?
We saved up some money
We'll see how that goes

[JESSE]
Back home didn’t trust us
They’re safe in their sameness
They’re scared of what’s strange
But we know life can change

[JESSE & ENSEMBLE]
Here in New York

[ENSEMBLE]
Where else can you wander
And hear every language
We fight the world's dangers
Then share cabs with strangers

[MEN]
We suffer the weather

[ALL]
We bind and we tether
This city together
[FRANCINE]
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
I won't be afraid
It's my New York!

[ALL]
Cheering for me now
Can you hear them cheering for me now?
Now
Now
Now!
