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
