I'm high above the city I'm standing on the ledge The view from here is pretty And I step off the edge
And now I'm fallin', baby Through the sky, through the sky And I'm fallin', baby through the sky It's my callin', baby Don't you cry, don't you cry And I'm fallin' down through the sky
Toward the street that I'm from Oh, Broadway, here I come Broadway, here I come
The pressure it increases The closer that I get I could almost go to pieces But I'm not quite there yet See, I've been bravin' crazy weather Drownin' out my cries I pull myself together I'm focused on the prize
I'm fallin', baby Through the sky, through the sky I'm fallin', baby through the sky It's my callin', baby Don't you cry, don't you cry 'Cause I'm fallin' down through the sky
And it's a tune you can hum Oh, Broadway here I come Mmmmmmmm
Will I remain the same Or will I change a little bit? Will I feel broken or totally complete? Will I retain my name when I'm the biggest, hugest hit? Or will I blend in with the rest of the street
The people all are pointing I bet they'd never guess That the saint that they're anointing Is frightened of the mess But even though I fear it I'm playin' all my cards... Baby, you are gonna hear it When I give them my regards
I'm fallin' baby Through the sky, through the sky Now I'm fallin', baby through the sky It's my callin', baby Don't you cry, don't you cry And I'm fallin' down through the sky
And I refuse to go numb Oh, Broadway here I come Broadway, here I come Broadway, here I come Oh, Broadway, Broadway, here I come Here I come!
And the last thing I hear As the impact grows near Is it a scream or a cheer? Well, never mind, I'll never find out 'Cause Broadway I am here
