Cântăre Rocketown

A Friday night affair

Out in the city heat

Always a party there

Along the sordid street

And it was guaranteed

The place to be was Rocketown



The drinks were two for one

Inside the crowded bars

The girls would make their run

Out on the boulevard

It was the idol place

We lived the ways of Rocketown

Hang around by the street light

In the heart of the night life



There came a certain man

A stranger to the crowd

We didn't understand

What he was all about

He walked a different pace

So out of place in Rocketown



They made a fool of him

They teased him when he'd speak

But when they knocked him down

He'd turn the other cheek

He told me I could find

A life outside of Rocketown

hang around by the street light

In the heart of the night life



Chorus:

What was his mission

Where was he going

Why was his heart light

Always glowing

All I was missing

He stood there holding

What was his secret

Could I know it



Some didn't like him near

Some laughed and turned away

But me, I longed to hear

All that he had to say

He had a peace of mind

I couldn't find in Rocketown

and when I reached down inside me

I could feel the emptiness



Chorus



He said it's in the heart

This change that comes to be

Now he had done his part

The choice was up to me

As we were standing there

He said a prayer for Rocketown

As we were standing there

He said a prayer for Rocketown

As we were standing there

He said a prayer for Rocketown



He walked off silently

And prayed for me

And Rocketown...



Chorus
