A Friday night affair   Out in the city heat   Always a party there   Along the sordid street   And it was guaranteed   The place to be was Rocketown      The drinks were two for one   Inside the crowded bars   The girls would make their runs   Out on the boulevard   It was the idol place   We lived the ways of Rocketown   Hang around by the street light   In the heart of the night life      There came a certain man   A stranger to the crowd   We didn't understand   What he was all about   He walked a different pace   So out of place in Rocketown   They made a fool of him   They teased him when he'd speak   But when they knocked him down   He turned the other cheek   He told me I could find   A life outside of Rocketown   Hang around by the street light   In the heart of the night life      (CHORUS)   What was his mission   Where was he going   Why was his heart light always glowing   All I was missing   He stood there holding   What was his secret   Could I know it      Some didn't like him near   Some laughed and turned away   But me, I longed to hear   All that he had to say   He had a peace of mind   I couldn't find in Rocketown   When I reached down inside me   I could feel the emptiness      (CHORUS)   He said it's in the heart   This change that comes to be   Now he had done his part   The choice was up to me   As we were standing there   He said a prayer for Rocketown   As we were standing there   He said a prayer for Rocketown      He walked off silently   And prayed for me   And Rocketown...
