Stuart Davis - City Is a Church lyrics

Drive into this city, meet me in the street Where the pavement and the romance meet I found my savior on the Mississippi banks And the movement of it's water gives me strength In the middle of the millions We can end a lifetime search And I'm on my knees tonight Because this city is a church Out there in the suburbs the truth is so less real You breath and breath but never feel But on the West Bank our secrets safe to keep And we'll dig into that truth and we'll dig deep If your spirit seems to fail you And you need to shed the hurt You can heal your spirit here Because this city is a church I know your surface wind is bleeding A plastic shell is no real gift But baby don't you see you're needing me And God knows these empty eyes could use the lift I see suspicion in your eyes To swallow words you need the proof It takes two of us to climb the stairwell in our minds Before we get to live up on the roof When I'm not pure and the innocence is gone I m baptized in your image every dawn You think it's too good to be true The beauty stuns me too But may God strike me down if this is wrong In the middle of the millions We can end the lifetime search And I'll be on my knees tonight Because this city is a church If your spirit seems to fail you You can heal your spirit here 'cause this city is a church
