Salvation

If ever you are walkin' down the lonely street

No one to lean on

No one to help you on

Cars and buildings so high

Disparity so wide

The only dreams we can see

Are the ones on the TV

If you need somebody,

If you need,

If you grieve,

I'm your sole salvation

The city is on fire

Can't you see these streets emptied in ashes, witless

made afraid

made expatriates

made youth of idle science and unbelief

so far from my brother

passin' down the street
