I’m high above the city
|
I’m standing on the ledge
|
The view from here is pretty
|
And I step off the edge
|
And now I’m fallin', baby
|
Through the sky, through the sky
|
I’m fallin', baby, through the sky
|
It’s my callin'
|
Baby, don’t you cry, don’t you cry
|
I’m fallin' down through the sky
|
Toward the street that I’m from
|
Oh, Broadway, here I come
|
Broadway, here I come
|
The pressure it increases
|
The closer that I get
|
I could almost go to pieces
|
But I’m not quite there yet
|
See I’ve been bravin' crazy weather
|
Drownin' out my cries
|
I pull myself together
|
I’m focused on the prize
|
I’m fallin', baby
|
Through the sky, through the sky
|
I’m fallin', baby, through the sky
|
It’s my callin'
|
Baby, don’t you cry, don’t you cry
|
I’m fallin' down through the sky
|
It’s a tune you can hum
|
Oh, Broadway, here I come
|
Hmm-mm-mm-mmm
|
Will I remain the same, or will I change a little bit?
|
Will I feel broken or totally complete?
|
Will I retain my name when I’m the biggest, hugest hit?
|
Or will I blend in with the rest of the street?
|
The people all are pointing
|
I bet they’d never guess
|
That the saint that they’re anointing
|
Is frightened of the mess
|
But even though I fear it
|
I’m playin' all my cards
|
Baby, you are gonna hear it
|
When I give them my regards
|
I’m falling, baby
|
Through the sky, through the sky
|
I’m fallin', baby, through the sky
|
It’s my calling
|
Baby, don’t you cry, don’t you cry
|
I’m fallin' down through the sky
|
And I refuse to go numb
|
Oh, Broadway, here I come
|
Broadway, here I come
|
Broadway, here I come
|
Broadway, here I come
|
Broadway, here I come
|
And the last thing I hear
|
As the impact grows near
|
Is it a scream or a cheer?
|
Well, never mind, I’ll never find out
|
'Cause Broadway, I am here |
