The City
(Idia Gamble, Gloria Burrel, Rob Burgess)

VERSE 1
Can't see past the block
Can't fill out the box
One step at a time
This is how we all walk
We have no rule
We have no food
I walk the streets all day,
Looking for the North Star

CHORUS
Rain drops are falling all around me
The tears of the earth
Wash away the dirt,
Wash away the pain,
Cleanse me.
My heart cries out for the city
My heart cries out for the city

VERSE 2
Expressions on their face
What was lost.
Who departed?
Mothers feeling shame,
Or pride
From what they started
We live in one room
All four of us
Open our eyes
To hold the land

CHORUS
Rain drops are falling all around me
The tears of the earth
Wash away the dirt,
Wash away the pain,
Cleanse me.
My heart cries out for the city
My heart cries out for the city

BRIDGE
You are, you are.
Different
Fearfully and wonderfully made
You fought this war
In the face of opposition
You stand before me
Shamelessly, in the darkest hour
Your pain blossoms like flowers

I know this road is hard to bear.
I see you standing there

CHORUS
Rain drops are falling all around me
The tears of the earth
Wash away the dirt,
Wash away the pain,
Cleanse me.
My heart cries out for the city
My heart cries out for the city
