Robbie Dupree - Knocking On The Gates Of Eden Lyrics

Robbie Dupree Lyrics

"Knocking On The Gates Of Eden"

A poor man reaches out his hand
Refugee from shadow land
Sleeping in the New York subway station
He lived it all, the rise and fall
The message written on the wall
Everybody's looking for salvation

A sailor stands his lonely watch
On seas where many ships were lost
He knows that destiny is waiting
Against the tide and desperate skies
He sets the course for paradise
Everybody's looking for salvation

Stars fall from the sky
Deepest rivers running dry
One day, somewhere, sometime
Everybody's standing in line
Knocking on the gates of Eden
(Knocking)
Everybody's standing in line

A prisoner is locked away
And sentenced to eternity
His hand to God, the witness was mistaken
In the end we all repent
The guilty and the innocent
Everybody's looking for salvation

Stars fall from the sky
Deepest rivers running dry
One day, somewhere, sometime
Everybody's standing in line
Knocking on the gates of Eden
(Knocking)
Everybody's standing in line
Knocking on the gates of Eden
(Knocking)
Knocking on the gates of Eden
