Shine Your Light

The cry of the city like a siren's song
 Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
 Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
 Must be someone's soul passing by
 These are the streets
 Where we used to run where your Papa's from
 These are the days
 Where you become what you become
 These are the streets
 Where the story's told
 The truth unfolds
 Darkness settles in
 Shine your light down on me
 Lift me up so I can see
 Shine your light when you're gone
 Give me the strength
 To carry on, carry on
 Don't wanna be a hero
 Just an everyday man
 Trying to do the job the very best he can
 But now it's like living on borrowed time
 Out on the rim, over the line
 Always tempting fate like a game of chance
 Never wanna stick around to the very last dance
 Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall
 Loose(?) hold your grip off the wall
 Shine your light down on me
 Lift me up so I can see
 Shine your light when you're gone
 Give me the strength to carry on
 Carry on
 I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road
 Maybe trying to find his way home
 He's here but not here
 He's gone but not gone
 Just hope he knows if I get lost
 Shine your light down on me
 Lift me up so I can see
 Shine your light when you're gone
 Give me the strength to carry on
 Carry on
