I used to think the Bronx was a place in the sky
G
When the world was just a subway map
F
And my thoughts took shape
NINA/BENNY::
C
On that fire escape...
NINA::
Em C Am Em
Can you remind me of what it was like
D C
At the top of the world?
BENNY::
G
Come with me
We begin July
With a stop at my corner fire hydrant
NINA::
F
You would open it every summer!
BENNY::
F
I would bust it with a wrench
C
Till my face got drenched
G
Till I heard the sirens
C
Then I ran like hell!
NINA::
You ran like hell!
BENNY::
Yeah, I ran like hell!
NINA::
I remember well!
BENNY::
G
To your father's dispatch window
“Hey, let me in, yo!
They're coming to get me!”
NINA::

You were always in constant trouble...
BENNY::

Then your dad would act all snide, but he'd let me hide
You'd be there inside...

Life was easier then

Nina, everything is easier

The street's a little kinder when you're home

That the day seems clearer

Maybe it's just me...

We gotta go I wanna show you all I know
The sun is setting and the light is getting low
NINA::
F
Are we going to Castle Garden?
BENNY::
Maybe, maybe not, but way to take a shot, when the day is hot
C
I got a perfect shady spot
A little ways away that oughta
G
Cool us down
NINA::
Cool us down...
BENNY::
Welcome back to town...
NINA::
Now, back in high school when it darkened
You'd hang out in Bennett Park and
BENNY::
F
Usnavi would bring his radio...
NINA::
As I walked home from Senior Studies
C
I'd see you rapping with your buddies
BENNY::

With the volume high

I walked on by
BENNY::
You walked on by...

Neighborhood just

cheering you along...

Don't say that
BENNY::

What's wrong?

Don't say that!
Em D G D
When I was younger, I'd imagine what would happen
Em D G D
If my parents had stayed in Puerto Rico
Em D G D
Who would I be if I had never seen Manhattan
Em D G
If I lived in Puerto Rico with my people
C D
My people!
Em D G C
I feel like all my life, I've tried to find the answer
Em D G C
Working harder, learning Spanish, learning all I can
Em D G C
I thought I might find the answer out at Stanford
Em
But I'd stare out at the sea
G
Thinking, where'm I supposed to be?
D G D
So please don't say you're proud of me, when I've lost my way
BENNY::
Em
Then can I say:
D Em
I couldn't get my mind off you all day
D
Now listen to me!
Em D
That may be how you perceive it
C D
But Nina please believe
Am G
That when you find your way again
C D
You're gonna change the world and then
C G D
We're all gonna brag and say we knew her when...
Em
This was your home
NINA::

I'm home...
BENNY::
Em D
Welcome home...
NINA::
G C
When you're here with me...
