"Heaven's In New York" lyrics - WYCLEF JEAN

If it was my last day on earth, I'd treat it like my first
Go out the way I came in
So innocent, so pure with no thoughts of insecurity
Live life to the fullest be what I wanna be

Last day on earth I tell my mama don't cry
I'll see my daddy in paradise
Where the blind can see, the mute can talk, the crippled can walk
But for now Heaven's in New York

Oh oh oh oh oh
Heaven's in New York
Oh oh oh oh oh
I need a ticket to New York

First thing I'd do is go back in time
Take the twin towers, put it back in the skyline
Tell my girl two wrongs still don't make a right
Make love for the last time under the candlelight

Pick up my homies at the gentleman club
After that hit the club and reminisce about the High School Days
Man I sucked as a quarterback remember getting sacked man
Almost broke my back, yeah

If it was my last day on earth, treat it like my first
Go out the way I came in
So innocent, so pure with no thoughts of insecurity
Live life to the fullest, be what I wanna be

Last day on earth I tell my girl don't cry
I'm with my daddy in paradise
Where the blind can see, the mute can talk, the crippled can walk
But for now Heaven's in New York

Oh oh oh oh oh
Heaven's in New York
Oh oh oh oh oh
I need a ticket to New York
Heaven's in New York
Oh oh oh oh oh
I need a ticket

I tell the man get the people a tax break
Kids stop shootin' I can't sing in no more ways
I can't take the money with me so I caught a movie
Favorite actress Angelina Jolie

Favorite singer got to be Marley
Turn up the bass and move to his stylings
Cant leave without reading my daughter a bedtime story
The heavens is calling

If it was my last day on earth, treat it like my first
Go out the way I came in
So innocent so pure with no thoughts of insecurity
Live life to the fullest, be what I wanna be

Last day on earth I tell my homies don't cry
I'm with my daddy in paradise
Where the blind can see, the mute can talk, the crippled can walk
But for now Heaven's in New York

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Heavens in New York
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I need a ticket to New York

Even though I walk through the Valley of Shadow of Death
I fear no evil for you are with me
Tell my loved ones please don't cry
'Cause if doves can fly so can I

If it was my last day on earth, treat it like my first
Go out the way I came in
So innocent so pure with no thoughts of insecurity
Live life to the fullest, be what I wanna be

Last day on earth I tell my homies don't cry
I'm with my daddy in paradise
Where the blind can see, the mute can talk, the crippled can walk
But for now Heaven's in New York

Oh oh oh oh oh
Heaven's in New York
Oh oh oh oh oh
I need a ticket to New York
Heaven's in New York
Oh oh oh oh oh
Heaven's in New York

Yeah
This one goes out to all my Refugees that leave the land that they from
Come to the land of the free
But don't forget once you get that dream
Take it back to your country and give 'em a piece of that inspiration

I need a ticket to New York
