Cries of the City

I woke up early in the morning
 The sun was glaring in my eyes
 The sirens crying in the city
 They're off to save another life
 They cry woe, is anybody listening?
 They cry woe, does anybody hear?
 They cry woe, is anybody listening?
 They scream woe, does anybody care?
 My next door neighbor has a baby
 She is only 6 months old
 She cries all night, it drives me crazy
 Whenever she's hungry, dirty or she's cold
 She cries woe, is anybody listening?
 She cries woe, does anybody care?
 She cries woe, I need someone's attention
 To rescue me from such despair
 A million voices in the city
 And they're singing the same song
 Lonely hearts in desperation
 Searching for strength to carry on
 You see everyone's longing for affection
 It's something we rarely do receive
 We just want to be wanted
 To be loved, it is all that we need
 We cry woe, is anybody listening?
 We cry woe, does anybody care?
 We cry woe, I need someone to save me
 And rescue me from such despair
 Is there anybody there to hear them calling?
 Is there anybody there to hear them cry?
 Is there anybody there to hear them calling?
 He is there with you, He is there with you
 He is there with you, He hears your cries
 He is there with you and He'll never leave you
 He is there with you
 You see the preacher on the corner
 He stands there every afternoon
 He reads his Bible and tries to warn ya
 That the Lord is coming soon.
