Ain't No Man Manhattan Lyrics - If/then: A New Musical - Idina Menzel

[Lucas:] 

So you've got nothing much in common 

With the artist down in Red Hook 

Who lost the place he works in 

So you could build some condos on the water? 

But he buys coffee from the coffee guy 

Who's renting from the actor 

Who's married to the doctor 

Who is in the E.R. trying to save your daughter 

Ain't no man Manhattan 

No island all his own 

On Roosevelt or Staten 

Ain't none of us alone 

Your action's my reaction 

In ways you won't expect 

We're all in this together 

Yeah we all connect

Take the environment, or housing 

Human rights, or education 

Every issue is connected 

To each person here, 

there ain't no separation 

[Lucas, Liz, Josh, Anne & Kate:] 

Ain't no "I" an island 

Anywhere on Earth 

How much you love your life is 

What ev'ry life is worth 

Your answer is my question, 

My cause is your effect 

We're all in this together 

Yeah, we all connect 

[Josh:] 

And we all somehow keep moving even so 

[Josh & Kate:] 

All of eight-point-two-five million on the go 

[All:] 

All changing you in ways you might not know 

Oh... 

Ain't no man Manhattan 

No island all his owwn 

On Roosevelt or Staten 

Ain't none of us alone 

We live in these collisions 

These accidents arise 

We somehow find each other 

In each other's eyes 

[Lucas:] 

So a kindergarten teacher 

[Lucas & Kate:] 

Helps a certain city planner 

[Lucas, Kate & Liz:] 

Meet a surgeon from Nebraska 

[Lucas, Kate, Liz & Josh:] 

And his best friend is a doctor 

[Lucas, David & Company:] 

And the city keeps evolving 

And the people keep revolving 

All of eight-point-two-five million on the run 

A diff'rent way for ev'ry single one 

All turning and returning, fast and slow 

[Liz, Josh, Kate, Anne, Lucas & David:] 

And we somehow find each other even so
