[Verse 1]
Glitter on my sneakers
Lip gloss in my bag
Writing on the mirror
“Baby
You’re a flag”
Cab ride to the parade
Pink shades
Longer legs
I’m walking like a siren
On bubblegum pegs
[Pre-Chorus]
All my colors in the crowd
We shine together
Turn a sidewalk to a runway
Any weather
Let ‘em stare
‘cause they can’t dim this fever
We’re louder than their doubt
Forever
[Chorus]
Hey New York
We came to shine
Rainbow hearts in a straight line
Turn it up
It’s gay pride
Kiss me on the west side (oh-oh)
All this love in flashing signs
Dancing under skyline
Hey New York
We’re so alive
This is our time
Our time
Our time
[Verse 2]
Boys in tiny tank tops
Girls in tailored suits
Drag queens on the crosswalk
Serving higher truths
Mama with her daughter
Holding up a sign
Says “Love is why we’re marching”
I read it and I cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Every color in the crowd
We shine together
Turn a sidewalk to a runway
Any weather
Let ‘em talk
We just spin it into glitter
We’re writing every rule
Not bitter
[Chorus]
Hey New York
We came to shine
Rainbow hearts in a straight line
Turn it up
It’s gay pride
Kiss me on the west side (hey!)
All this love in flashing signs
Dancing under skyline
Hey New York
We’re so alive
This is our time
Our time
Our time
[Bridge]
Hand in hand on Houston
Making out on 5th
Taxi lights are haloed
Yeah
We were born for this (oh yeah)
If they try to push us down
We rise like summer heat
From Stonewall to right now
We own this street
[Chorus]
Hey New York
We came to shine
Rainbow hearts in a straight line
Turn it up
It’s gay pride
Kiss me on the west side
All this love in flashing signs
Dancing under skyline
Hey New York
We’re so alive
This is our time
Our time
Our time
