If ever you are walkin'
Down the lonely street
No one to lean on
No one to help you on
Cars and buildings so high
Disparity so wide
The only dreams we can see
Are the ones on TV screen
If you need
If you need somebody
If you need
If you need somebody
If you grieve, if you need
I'm your sole salvation
The city is on fire
Can't you see these streets
Emptied in ashes, witless
Made afraid, made ex-patriots
Made youth of idle science and unbelief
So far from my brother
So far from my brother
So far from my brother
Passin' down the street
If you need
If you need somebody
If you need
If you need somebody
If you grieve, if you need
I'm your sole salvation
If ever you are walkin'
Down the street
No one to lean on
No one to help you on
Cars and buildings so high
Disparity so wide
The only dreams we can see
Are the ones on TV screen
If you need
If you need somebody
If you need
If you need somebody
If you grieve, if you need
I'm your sole salvation
