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   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*      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*
