The cry of the city like a siren´s song
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone´s soul passing by

These are the streets
Where we used to run where your Papa´s from
These are the days
Where you become what you become
These are the streets
Where the story´s told
The truth unfolds
Darkness settles in

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you´re gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on

Don´t wanna be a hero
Just an everyday man
Trying to do the job the very best he can
But now it´s like living on borrowed time
Out on the rim, over the line
Always tempting fate like a game of chance
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance
Sometimes i stumble and take a hard fall
Loose(?) hold your grip off the wall

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you´re gone
Give me the strength to carry on
Carry on

I thought i saw him walking by the side of the road
Maybe trying to find his way home

He´s here but not here
He´s gone but not gone
Just hope he knows if I get lost

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you´re gone
Give me the strength to carry on
To carry on.

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you´re gone
Give me the strength to carry on
To carry on.
