Cheering For Me Now - Lin-Manuel Miranda, John Kander

So they’re cheering for me now

In streets, hear them cheering for me now

Right on Broadway, they’re cheering for me now

And one day, all the enemies I’ve made

Might hold their own parade

But not today

I came here with nothing

Like hundreds before me

And millions behind me

You know you can find me

In New York

Where everyone’s different

But share the same island

Polluted and loud

But you’re safe in the crowd

Here in New York

Today, it’s my city

Tomorrow, who knows?

Today, we’re a country

Let’s see how that goes

Upstate doesn’t trust us

They’re saving their sameness

They’re scared of what’s strange

But each corner means change

Here in New York

Where else can you wander

And hear every language?

We fight like a marriage

Then share the same carriage

We suffer the weather

We bind and we tether

This nation together

I’m just getting started

But time’s of the essence

I can’t say I’ve made it

But I’d never trade it

They’ve thrown a parade

In my New York

Cheering for me now

Can you hear them cheering for me now?
