Brooklyn Lyrics

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

So that I would know what freedom means

I was looking for deliverance from demons inside

That I learned to live with silently

For years I said shut up shut up shut up

To the voice inside my head

That said 'you better be true if you're gonna be you

And if not, then you're better off dead'

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

So that I would know how safety feels

I was searching for a comfort that I'd never known

All my life I just spun my wheels

For years I said oh well oh well oh well

That's just how the story goes

Some people live sweet lives of happiness

And some just don't

In a world of open doors, mine were closed

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

Yeah

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

So that I would know what love can be

I was hunting for a heart that I still haven't found

But I know my lover waits for me

So now I say c'mon c'mon c'mon

There's endless opportunities

To feel the freedom, safety, comfort, and deliverance of love and the heart that I hope yearns for me

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

Yeah

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge

And she answered me

I said a prayer to lady liberty

From Brooklyn bridge
