Verse 1
So very quiet on this dark city street
Concrete and stone, hard against my feet
What have we come to, what has become, of justice?
Is it only for some?
Hands tied behind me, I'm baring up well,
Just a few more hours, near as I can tell
It's a sad situation, but what will be will be,
And if this is what you want you can count on me.
Chorus
You can count on me, to stand for you
You can count one me to be faithful too
You can count on me for what needs to be said
You can count on me to rise, from the dead.
Verse 2
I see the crowd, it's starting to thin,
It was fun for a while I guess, it's time to head in
Never felt so all alone, as I do now
I never learned the proper way to die,
but suddenly I know how.
I did not think that there'd be so much pain,
I don't see your reasons or what's to gain,
Father in heaven, have You forgotten Your son?
I just think that there's so much good I could have done.
Oh, if you could feel what I feel,
I'm fading in and out now, and it's so unreal
I know God, I could kill them all with one prayer
My birthright, the power, it's always been there
But Father through it all, I still feel in my heart
For these people you've entrusted me,
I've loved them from the start
And I know that I can reach them,
though maybe not today,
But God I'll hold them in my arms some day.
