Brad Ba** - Los Angeles lyrics

[Intro: Christine] How could I ever know How precious life would be? The day my faith became restored Was the day you came to me I was hopeless, growing weary Couldn't find my way I was restless, scared and fearful Much to my dismay But through the night there came a light That burned as bright as day You're my light now, you're my all Beside you I will stay Because of you we have a bond that cannot be erased Because of you we share a love that couldn't be misplaced Because of you there's two of us, I'm not the only one Because of you this mother has a son [Verse 1: Male Ensemble] We wake thankful for another day With breath in our lungs to a**ure us We gather together and we go our way Traveling to our destiny, by car, by bus [Pre-Chorus: All Ensemble] Realizing that we have a purpose But never understanding what it means Living through the city walking through the dust Of movie stars and magazines [Chorus: All Ensemble] Los Angeles We make out way No end in sight We fight the day Into the night On angel wings The city sings Los Angeles [Verse 2: Female Ensemble] Each day pa**es but we start anew With hearts of love and affection Hoping to recieve our due And asking God for protection [Pre-Chorus: All Ensemble] Realizing that we aren't perfect But never giving up on that pursuit Punching time cards, scrambling for end's meet And taking stock of our commute [Chorus: All Ensemble] Los Angeles We do our best At least we try We'll finally rest The day we die It's nothing new It's what we do Los Angeles [Verse 3: Christine] They grow so fast And break your heart The memories last As they depart God give me grace It's time to face Los Angeles [Bridge: Male Ensemble, Female Ensemble and Both] Ooh, ooh We bleed and cry and die for what? We pound pavement to make the grade We bathe away the daily smut We learned quick her to be afraid But freedom doesn't come for free When you're taught, you must agree Or you'll face the third degree From corrupt powers of authority We're so glad that, glad that we So glad that we can be, we can be Protected by the Los Angeles PD Los Angeles, Los Angeles Los Angeles, Los Angeles Los Angeles [Chorus: Male Ensemble, Female Ensemble and Both] We make our way (We make our way, no end in sight) No end in sight (We fight the day into the night) We fight the day (On angel wings, the city sings) Into the night (Los Angeles) On angel wings (We do our best, at least we try) The city sings (We'll finally rest the day we die) Los Angeles, woah Mothers, sons (Mothers, sons, and bums, and men) And bums, and men (Your enemy becomes your friend) Tomorrow we'll (We conquer one day then we must) Do it again We're running to something new (Los Angeles) And hoping for so much more (Los Angeles) We make a dime and spend our time (Los Angeles) Watching crime Ah, ah, ah Los Angeles
