New York City -

Uh-huh

ANGEL
Center of the universe

Sing it girl -

ANGEL
It's a comfort to know
When you're singing the hit-the-road blues
That anywhere else you could possible go
Afer New York would be a pleasure cruise

Ironic how completely opposite that is from the poem I'm about to post. I wrote it on the plane on the way home from NY.

Neverland
Started out in a small town
Discovered the city when I was only 5 years old
And from my first glimpse of skyscrapers
I knew where I belonged

I'm taking back to my body
But I'm leaving my heart where it belongs
Someday I'll make it back to New York City
Back where I belong

Don't belong in that small town
I suffocate in the open fields
Can only breathe between the buildings
Dodging taxis and street performers

Where is the excitement
(of life in suburbia)
Connection with strangers
(isolation - a world apart)

I'm taking back to my body
But I'm leaving my heart where it belongs
Someday I'll make it back to New York City
Back where I belong

So many people lost in the world
But I know where I belong
And I drew a map of how to get there
With 2 stickers that say "you are here"
One in that small town
Where my body lies in wait
And one inthe heart of the ciry
Where my heart is dreaming

I'm taking back to my body
But I'm leaving my heart where it belongs
Someday I'll make it back to New York City
Back where I belong

For now my little bit of being
Lives without its passion and determination
The world is waitng in the city
To see what that soul is made of
I'll always be a city girl
No matter where I am
And if I can't go to the city
I'll bring the city to me
