Lyrics
On Your Knees
Verse 1:
Lost another lover, lost another dream
Your home, and all that you own, is out in the street
Bad decisions, took you off the tracks
Mother's wondering, will she get her baby back
Chorus:
Now you find yourself in funny places
Trusting unfamiliar faces
Stranger's voices, say they have the keys
Running here, and you're running there
All around the ghetto is everywhere
But truth is right there, on your knees
Verse 2:
So you discover, concrete jungle's mean
You think, in silence you sink, feeling defeat
You need connections, to turn it all around
Skies may be dark, but hope is on the ground
Chorus:
Now you find yourself in funny places
Trusting unfamiliar faces
Stranger's voices, say they have the keys
Running here, and you're running there
All around the ghetto is everywhere
But truth is right there, on your knees
