My mother came to America Sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams Back in the Thirties with the streets paved in gold And the sky laced with moonbeams Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons Here in the free world, we're the lucky ones All of my yearning, all of my hunger Maybe we're learning sometimes I wonder Good night, New York Before the Kennedy's, before the Beatles Before the Vietnam War Back to a time when anything was possible Having less meant knowing more Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts Here in the free world, for that second chance All of my yearning, all of my hunger Maybe we're learning sometimes I wonder Good night, New York My mother came to America She sailed through the harbor of hopes and of dreams And here in her future, I hope I've not failed her 'Cause nothings the way that it seems All of my yearning, all of my hunger Maybe we're learning sometimes I wonder Good night, New York
