Lin-Manuel Miranda & Eisa Davis Lyrics

"Somewhere In The City"
(performed by Colman Domingo & Aneesa Folds)

So if you can ID him
Then take me to see him
Let's go

The murderer who tries to kill a dream
Is closer than you think
He wants to see our faces
The damage is his kink
If any of us make it back to Coney
He'll be there to knock us down
He doesn't feel a thing
Unless he's watching something drown
But you can't kill an idea whose time has come

Come to the point where they kill everything you believe in
You lead your army to the Major Deegan and start speeding, vrrm, vrrm

He's on our turf
He's waiting for us on our turf
Our one little corner of turf
But he'll never kill, the part that is real
The dream that reveals
It's all our turf
Every side of the city, let's ride through the city

And somewhere in the city, my crew's in a fight
They're trying to get home and surviving the night
And they deserve a city where they'd be alright
Where they all come home alive

And someday in the city, we won't have to run
Each time somebody broken gets ahold of a gun
Breathe easy every night, knowing we'll see the sun
When we all come home alive

Someday in the city, our music will play
We'll wander through the city as light as the day
And nothing is impossible, making our way
Back home alive

Survive tonight
