City Streets

You saw me standing out in the street I was looking for some action, someone to meet There was holes in my pockets And a hole in my soul And a whole lot of questions About which way to go Lookin' for love Lookin' for drugs Lookin' for a pretty Lookin' for love Lookin' for life Livin' in the city Like a joke without a punch line Like a rat in a maze Like last year's paper yellow with age I was a deck without a dealer I was a day without a dawn I was a train without a station Until you came along Lookin' for love Lookin' for fun Isn't it a pity Lookin' for love Lookin' for life Livin' in the city You found me broken in the bad part of town Could'nt look up to heaven Till I was all the way down Your love reached for me Felt the scar on your hand Saw your cross on the skyline Now I understand Born for love, born for life You were born in the city You died for love, died for life You were died for the city You're returning for love You're returnig for life Jesus, you're returning for the city
