"In The City There Is Grace" lyrics - JOSEPH ARTHUR
There's a slither but no snake
As you wake up cold again
Homeless in the house you make
A dream preparing you to send
To a whisper with no voice
The message clearer than before
As you walk without a choice
Through the richness of the poor
There's a begging under wealth
The rich are vagrants too
As with sickness in good health
The sky is faded blue
And so lover with no warmth
We lay now in the arms of death
I can taste the air you breathe
As you breathe without a breath
In the city there is grace, in the city there is grace
In the city there is grace, in the city there is grace
There's a calling with no ears
No message is received
As with falling through the years
Of the lies that you believed
Now just death can change your mind
But maybe then you still will live
As they take it all away
So that you may finally give
There's a sun without a light
In the darkness beating down
As your bones fill up with death
Dancing skeletons around
There's a moon without a night
And a knife without a blade
A gun that just shoots roses
And tattoos that will not fade
In the city there is grace, in the city there is grace
In the city there is grace, in the city there is grace
There's a savior with no damned
There's a saint who always sins
There's a candle with no flame
And beginnings without ends
There's a hunger no one feeds
There's a sleep that will not wake
There are eyes that will not close
And there is gold you cannot take
There is beauty in the cold
There is freezing when it's hot
There is youth born in the old
When the truth is all they got
There are roads that just keep going
There are cars that never stall
When the voice inside your heart
Speaks to those who hear the call
In the city there is grace, in the city there is grace
In the city there is grace, in the city there is grace
Give away your hunger
Give away your pain
Keep with you the wonder
That saves you here again
The love it just keeps growing
In the light and all around
The truth as loud as thunder
Shakes the world without a sound
So give away your pain
And give away your hunger
To the battle of the ocean
And the epic child's wonder
There is beauty all around
In the city there is grace
There is love without an end
From the one without a face
In the city there is grace, in the city there is grace
In the city there is grace, in the city there is grace (hey grace)
In the city there is grace (hey grace)
In the city there is grace (hey grace)
