My City of Ruins

[Verse 1]
There's a blood red circle on the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down
The church door's thrown open
I can hear the organ's song, but the congregation's gone

[Refrain]
My city of ruins
My city is in ruins

[Verse 2]
Now the sweet bells of mercy drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner, like scattered leaves
The boarded up windows and the empty streets
While my brother's down on his knees

[Refrain]
My city of ruins
My city is in ruins

[Chorus]
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, risе up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, risе up!

[Verse 3]
Now's there's tears on the pillow, down there where you slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss, my soul is lost, my friend
Tell me, how do I begin again?

[Refrain]
My city of ruins
My city is in ruins

[Bridge]
Now, with these hands
With these hands
I pray, Lord
With these hands
With these hands
I pray for the strength, Lord
With these hands
With these hands
I pray for your love, Lord
With these hands
With these hands
I pray for the lost, Lord
With these hands
With these hands
I pray for the change, Lord
With these hands
With these hands
Pray for the faith, Lord
(With these hands) These hands
With these hands
I pray for your love, Lord
With these hands (C'mon!)
With these (C'mon!) hands

[Chorus]
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
