Streets Cry

Sun's gone down, now the day begins
City gives birth to its concrete skins
The night gets ready to use its sin
To rob its victims of their names

Ooh-ooh...

Little girl, no place to go
Ran away from home about two weeks ago
Finally found a place to set her soul
Isn't it a crying shame

And the streets cry
Desperately seeking a Savior
Deep in the city
And the streets cry
Begging for the message of Jesus
Must the streets cry alone

The city's just like a merry-go-round
But it's not so merry this time around
For the empty hearts of the people who found
Hell under neon lights

You play for fun and you play for keeps
It's sad but true that sin never sleeps
When a soul is bought, it never goes cheap
When it's sold as a slave of the night

And the streets cry
Desperately seeking a Savior
Deep in the city
And the streets cry
Begging for the message of Jesus
Must the streets cry alone

Jesus stands looking on the city
With tears in His eyes

Ooh, and the streets cry
Desperately seeking a Savior
Deep in the city
Oh, the streets cry
Begging for the message of Jesus
Must the streets cry alone

Oh, the streets cry
Desperately seeking a Savior
Deep in the city
Oh, the streets cry
Begging for the message of Jesus
Must the streets cry alone

Oh, oh, oh-whoa-whoa...
Must the streets cry alone
