Lets go walk through the city,
you and I.
Tonite while the evening,
is still spead across the sky.

Through trendy restuarants,
that reek of oyster shells.
Half deserted streets,
and cheap, one night motels.

Through soot filled pools,
that stand in drains.
And a yellow, green fog,
that rests on window panes.

Lets go walk through the city,
you and I.

Where people live in boxes,
and dont understand why.
And a baby, who is hungry,
slowly starts to cry.
And a city once filled with hopes and dreams,
cannot help but die.

Lets go walk through the city,
you and I.

Through the bloodstained alleys,
where a girls first trick was had.
And a junkie gave his life, for just another deal gone bad.
Through smoke filled bars,that reek of beer.
And long abandoned streets,
so filled with fear.

Lets go walk through the beautiful city, you and I.

Your Eyes have seen as My Eyes have felt,, I walk through these streets, seeing souls once alive wanting to feel alive, I know of these streets Its my haven of Hope that one Day I shall not see another child lost in thier own ,, a Soul so needing to be re-vived

Beautifully put into words
