Back To The City

I’m slipping in the slime

I’m running out of time

Abandoned in this hell

You said all would be well

But you lied!

I’m going back

I’m going back to the city

Knockin’ on the door

Back to the city

To where I was before

Back to the city

Where I am not alone

I’m going home

Why would you leave me here

As soon as troubles rise?

Don’t give a place to fear

He’ll wipe every tear from your eyes

I’ve got my ball and jack

And now I’m going back

If now it’s dark and cold

What more awaits you down this road?

I’m going back to the city

I can hardly wait

Back to the city

Passing through the gate

Back to the city

The lights, the stars, the show

I’m coming home

Back to the city

Knocking on the door

Back to the city

To where I was before

Light up the Superdome

I’m coming home

The man sank deep in that miry ground

With the pack on his back still weighing him down

While his friend left them there without even saying goodbye

He reached to the side and found Hope was there

As a hand helped him out of the pit of despair

He shook himself and walked in the ways of the sky
