Bruce Springsteen — My City of Ruins

[Verse 1] There is a blood red circle on the cold dark ground And the rain is falling down The church door's thrown open, I can hear the organ's song But the congregation's gone [Pre-Chorus] My city of ruins My city of ruins [Verse 2] Now the sweet bells of mercy drift through the evening trees Young men on the corner like scattered leaves The boarded-up windows, the empty streets While my brother's down on his knees [Pre-Chorus] My city of ruins My city of ruins [Chorus] Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! [Verse 3] Now's there's tears on the pillow, darling, where we slept And you took my heart when you left Without your sweet kiss my soul is lost, my friend Tell me how do I begin again? [Pre-Chorus] My city's in ruins My city's in ruins [Bridge] Now with these hands With these hands With these hands With these hands I pray Lord With these hands With these hands I pray for the strength, Lord With these hands With these hands I pray for the faith, Lord With these hands With these hands We pray for your love, Lord With these hands With these hands We pray for the lost, Lord With these hands With these hands We pray for this world, Lord With these hands With these hands We pray for the strength, Lord With these hands With these hands We pray for the strength, Lord With these hands With these hands Come on, come on [Chorus] Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
