Cries of the City

I woke up early in the morning The sun was glaring in my eyes The sirens crying in the city They're off to save another life They cry woe, is anybody listening? They cry woe, does anybody hear? They cry woe, is anybody listening? They scream woe, does anybody care? My next door neighbor has a baby She is only 6 months old She cries all night, it drives me crazy Whenever she's hungry, dirty or she's cold She cries woe, is anybody listening? She cries woe, does anybody care? She cries woe, I need someone's attention To rescue me from such despair A million voices in the city And they're singing the same song Lonely hearts in desperation Searching for strength to carry on You see everyone's longing for affection It's something we rarely do receive We just want to be wanted To be loved, it is all that we need We cry woe, is anybody listening? We cry woe, does anybody care? We cry woe, I need someone to save me And rescue me from such despair Is there anybody there to hear them calling? Is there anybody there to hear them cry? Is there anybody there to hear them calling? He is there with you, He is there with you He is there with you, He hears your cries He is there with you and He'll never leave you He is there with you You see the preacher on the corner He stands there every afternoon He reads his Bible and tries to warn ya That the Lord is coming soon.
