A Map of New York Lyrics- Indiana Menzel

[Stephen:]

Think of each plaza, pier, and public park

How many sit there empty, lonely, dark

Think of it, for tomorrow's sake

Think of how you and I can make our mark

You and I,

we can draw a brand-new grid

Everything that you dreamed of as a kid

Give it a year, and go with me

Soon enough, you'll say "Look what we two did"

You've always had the right dream

We've always made a tight team

Now at last you're back,

exactly where you ought to be

So let's make a map of New York you and me

[New Yorker:]

Twenty-two Reade, a building, sidewalk, shade

[Another New Yorker:]

Now a memory that for Beth will never fade

[Beth:]

And I could be planning city sites

Where memories just like this one might be made

[Writer:]

Thirty-three Bond,

where I wrote my first book

[Chef:]

Greenwich and Moore,

where I learned how to cook

[Young Woman:]

The Center Street courts

I intern there

[Beth:]

The joy of this job is everywhere I look

[Messenger:]

That market was my first job

[Elena:]

That diner was my worst job

[Those Six:]

And everywhere around me are these lives I left behind

[Foreman:]

The Tunnel where I laid rail

[Realtor:]

The co-op where I made my first sale

[All Eight:]

They make a map of New York in my mind

[Anne:]

Put a sticker on the map where you landed that first day

[Kate:]

Put a pin on the bridge

[Lucas:]

On the train

[Anne:]

On J.F.K

[Beth:]

On the street where I swore I'd afford a place some day

[Kate, Anne, Lucas, & New Yorkers:]

Ev'ry avenue and place,

ev'ry building, ev'ry face

Of the lovers and the friends,

the beginnings and the ends

Make a map of NYC,

where I've been and who I'll be

And you'll find me

[Liz:]

And you're feeling adrift, alone, apart

Then suddenly life will somehow start

And a map of New York is written on your heart

[New Yorkers:]

On your heart

On your heart

[Beth:]

I'm too old for all that shit

to be told I'm selling out

Then again, all these years,

did I lose what I'm about?

On the street, in the cold,

it's so hard to fight the doubt

[Beth & New Yorkers:]

Then you hear the tunnel hum

With a train about to come

And you surface to the street

And you fall into the beat

You can trace a line to me

On that map of NYC

Right where I should be

[Stephen:]

Think of how human life will ebb and flow

[Stephen & Beth:]

People, and how they'll come and how they'll go

Remember the things we hoped and planned

[Stephen:]

Remember them, and believe them, and you'll know

[Beth & Stephen:]

We'll know

[Beth, Stephen & New Yorkers:]

We never walk a straight line

We never check a street sign

[Beth & Stephen:]

But it's in the detour that we truly find our way

[Stephen & New Yorkers:]

We always know the way home

[Beth & New Yorkers:]

As long as we can stay here we're home

[Beth:]

And we make a map of work

[New Yorkers:]

Love and loss and life

[Stephen:]

And we make a map of play

[New Yorkers:]

We find our way

[Stephen & New Yorkers:]

And we make a map of New York ev'ry day

[New Yorker:]

Ending the night at 23rd and Third

[Another New Yorker:]

Liz and her date,

who's hanging on each word
