California Here I Come Lyrics - Sophie B. Hawkins

You, poor you 

Playin' too long 

But you're still not groovin' 

I see you runnin' 

But I see you ain't movin' 

Me, pitiful me 

I sleep with both eyes open 

But I'm just not seein' 

The forest 

Let alone the trees 

California here I come 

Open up your golden arms 

I had enough of the New York city slums 

My brother, he went before me 

My God watch over me 

California here I come 

Can we stop obsessin' 

There's food on the table 

Let's count our blessings 

How come we wanna be messin' 

Messin' around 

With the wild wild west 

Must be a better life than this 

How come some people got it all 

Some people got none 

I been bangin' my head against 

The writin' on the wall 

But now I just wanna have fun 

California here I come 

Open up your golden arms 

I had enough of the New York city slums 

My brother he went before me 

My God watch over me 

California I'll be there 

Let me fall into your hair 

I won't be guilty for my New York City care 

My sister come along with me 

Our God is offerin' our share 

California I'll be there 

Yes I'll be 

{Our Father who is in Heaven 

Hallowed be Your name 

Your kingdom come Your will be done 

On earth as it is in Heaven 

Give me this, my daily bread 

And forgive me my trespasses 

As I forgive those of others 

Lead me not into temptation 

And deliver me from evil} 

California I'll be there 

I won't be guilty for my New York City care 

My brother, he went before me 

My God watch over me 

California, California please 

I won't be guilty no I won't be guilty now 

My sister come along with me 

Our God is offerin' our share
