Bruce Springsteen My City`s In Ruins Lyrics

My City`s In Ruins Lyrics

There is a blood red circle

On the cold dark ground

And the rain is
falling down

The church door's thrown open

I can hear the organ's
song

But the congregation's gone

My city of ruins

My city of
ruins



Now the sweet bells of mercy

Drift through the evening
trees

Young men on the corner

Like scattered leaves,

The
boarded up windows,

The empty streets

While my brother's down on
his knees

My city of ruins

My city of ruins



Come on,
rise up! Come on, rise up!

Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!

Come
on, rise up! Come on, rise up!



Now's there's tears on the
pillow

Darlin' where we slept

And you took my heart when you
left

Without your sweet kiss

My soul is lost, my friend

Tell
me how do I begin again?

My city's in ruins

My city's in ruins



Now with these hands,

With these hands,

With these
hands,

I pray Lord

With these hands, 

With these hands,

I pray for the strength, Lord

With these hands,

With these
hands,

I pray for the faith, Lord

We pray for your love, Lord

We pray for the lost, Lord

We pray for this world, Lord

We pray
for the strength, Lord

We pray for the strength, Lord



Come
on

Come on

Come on, rise up

Come on, rise up

Come on,
rise up

Come on, rise up

Come on, rise up

Come on, rise
up

Come on, rise up

Come on, rise up

Come on, rise up
