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, Mmmm
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
To carry on
