Victims

Downtown I walkThrough New York City so hotThe summer swelter meltingGot things on my mind right nowIn the alleys that I takeThey just don't give up an inchI turned and saw it allI watched him fallI tried to catch himBut they knocked me out cold too"Babylon" he criedThe cost in flesh and blood is rising highThings are falling apart it all seemsBleeding in the gutterThe waste of random acts of violenceWhere's the Savior to resuce our dreams?Desperation's crawlingWe're victims of a world that's gone so wrong?Hours later when I wokeI was lying in some darkened basement rescue missionThey're tending to my needs and woundsThey were such a sorry lotThe very bottom of the social ladderI just caught myself before I criedThey've nothing at allBut they're the only ones there to helpEden's sin's aliveStalking meStalking everyoneThings are falling apart it all seemsTears that speak in volumesThe eyes of all these hopeless peopleWhere's the Savior to rescue our dreams?Desperation's crawlingOn victims of a power hungry world!
