Helen Sventitsky - If All The World Were Like New York City...
	lyrics
If All The World Were Like New York City... If all the world were like new york city A walk through concrete ecstacy Stars would beg to be neon streams In the Manhattan island of your dreams Peace on a Brooklyn night Joined in varied lives And the event any of this were true I'd love you and I'd hate you and I'd need you too If all the world were like San Francisco back from digital ashes below Hills would awake to cable cars Passing Victorian demi-stars Love would be discreet Down on Market Street And the event all of this were true I'd love you and I'd hate you and I'd need you too Held my soul to my vest On Central Park and West Slips of fortune cast away Along Grant Avenue and Broadway Over my shoulder I hear Bowery breathing in my ear And to my left I see Hunters' Point falling to the sea If all the world were like Now York City And San Francisco traded in beauty for every beg and plea for a coin Lining the streets of the Tenderloin We still face hunger at the feast Staring down the belly of the beast And the event any of this were true I'd love you and I'd hate you and I'd need you too But the towers are no more saved in bits of lore For my sister's sake Dive into the next earthquake And in the event any of this were true I'd love you and I'd hate you and I'd need you too 2003 Helen Sventitsky-Rother/Jane of All Trades Music.
