Heart Of The City

Words and Music by Raccoon

as recorded on Nature’s Cathedrals

 

 

Deep in the heart of the city

Where you gotta fight to live each day

I saw an old friend of mine

He bowed to his knees and pray

 

Along came the red-eyed policeman

Sadly he did say,

“There’s nothing here in the law books

That says that you can’t stay right here”

 

And people gathered around him

To see if he was well

I’m not the only one

Who heard him slam the gates to hell

 

From a whisper to a tremble

From a tremble to a roar

Do you think we finally found the keys to heaven’s door?

 

From a whisper to a tremble

From a tremble to a roar

Could you imagine if we had ten million more?

 

Up in the sky you can see the thirteenth tribe

Flying hand in hand with a new law for the land

Up in the sky you can see the thirteenth tribe

Flying hand in hand singing, “Now we understand”

 

I’ve had the dreams, I hold them true

Sitting here tryin' to figure out the next thing I should do

I’ve had the dreams and I’ve seen the unseen

I’ve got so much power that I’m busting at the seams
