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 Oh-Oh

 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
