Lyrics

This City
A Davidson 2005
This city, oh my city
Been scared of this storm for some time
There?s some threatening to run but I?ll stay till it?s done
And wait for a ray of sunshine; I?ll wait till I see the sunshine

1)Well can you hear me sing your street song
In the city where I surely belong
Well the water?s coming and the weather will change
Your music keep my spirit so strong, your music keep my spirit strong

Well my family left for higher ground
And my guitars a floatin away
But my voice feels strong and I know I belong
Right here in my home I will stay, right here in this place I will stay

2)Well did you hear me from my window
Singing out and strumming your song
Well though the waters rising and the weather has changed
Your music keep my spirit so strong, your music keep my spirit strong

Well the stairs are all below me
And I?ve run out of places to climb
Hum the song that runs through my blood and my soul
Though I do believe its my time I do believe its my time

3)Can?t you hear us from the rooftops
Crying out that something?s gone wrong
As the waters rising and the weather has changed
The music been quiet too long, the music?s been quiet so long.

This city oh my city
Sent the angels for to take me away.
Though one man is gone, there?s no water so strong
Can ever wash the music away. You?ll never wash the music away

4)Well can you hear me in the sunrise
Singing out and strumming your song
Well as the waters clearing and the weather has changed
Our music?s what we got to live on, The music has got to live on

5) Then from the streets and from the rooftops
A million people sing and they pray
All our voices rising and our spirits proclaim
You?ll never take our music away, you?ll never take the music away!
