Sidewalks Of The City

As you walk along the sidewalks of the city



You see a man with hunger in his face



And all around you crumbling buildings and graffiti



As you bend down to tie your shoelace



Sirens scream but you don't listen



You have to reach home before night



But now the sun beats down



It makes the sidewalks glisten



And somehow you just don't feel right



Hold me baby, give me some faith



Let me know you're there



Let me touch your face



Give me love give me grace



Tell me good things



Tell me that my world is safe



You pass by bars with empty stages



Three o'clock drinkers fall by



Chairs are placed on top of tables



As you brush the hair out of your eyes



A woman stops you with a question



So you drop some money in her hand



She sleeps in doorways and bus stations



And you'll never understand



Hold me baby, give me some faith



Let me know you're there



Let me touch your face



Give me love give me grace



Tell me good things



Tell me that my world is safe
