At ten o'clock it comes alive
There's 20 million people, then there's me
A taxi driver every day
A lot of work, a little pay
Just looking for a way to find some peace
But finding peace
Is way too hard
When you're looking in the dark
So shine, shine, shine on us
Oh God, we need Your love
These streets aren't bright enough
Oh Jesus, shine on us
I'm sitting on this corner here
My dignity just disappears
With every coin I beg into this cup
No matter how much people pay
It doesn't matter anyway
It never ever seems to be enough
The light inside
My heavy heart
Is getting way too dark
So shine, shine, shine on us
Oh God, we need Your love
These streets aren't bright enough
Oh Jesus, shine on us
God above is full of mercy
Turning darkness into dawn
All you who are weak and weary
Lift your heads and sing this song
Shine, shine, shine on us
Oh God, we need Your love
These streets aren't bright enough
Oh Jesus, shine on us
Shine, shine, shine on us
Oh God, we need Your love
These streets aren't bright enough
Oh Jesus, shine on us
This city doesn't sleep at night At ten o'clock it comes alive There's 20 million people, then there's me A taxi driver every day A lot of work, a little pay Just looking for a way to find some peace But finding peace Is way too hard When you're looking in the dark So shine, shine, shine on us Oh God, we need Your love These streets aren't bright enough Oh Jesus, shine on us I'm sitting on this corner here My dignity just disappears With every coin I beg into this cup No matter how much people pay It doesn't matter anyway It never ever seems to be enough The light inside My heavy heart Is getting way too dark So shine, shine, shine on us Oh God, we need Your love These streets aren't bright enough Oh Jesus, shine on us God above is full of mercy Turning darkness into dawn All you who are weak and weary Lift your heads and sing this song Shine, shine, shine on us Oh God, we need Your love These streets aren't bright enough Oh Jesus, shine on us Shine, shine, shine on us Oh God, we need Your love These streets aren't bright enough Oh Jesus, shine on us Explain Request ×
