Bruce Springsteen - My City In Ruins lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] My city of ruins[x2] [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up![x3] [Verse 3] Now's there's tears on the pillow 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? [Chorus 1] [Bridge] Now with these hands[x3] I pray Lord With these hands[x2] I pray for the strength, Lord With these hands[x2] 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[x2] [Chorus 2][x5]
