"City On Our Knees" lyrics
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say, "Here."
If we gotta start sometime I say, "Now."
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third-world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say, "Here."
If we gotta start sometime I say, "Now."
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third-world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Tonight couldn't last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight couldn't last forever
Tonight couldn't last forever
We are one choice from together
Family, we're family
Tonight couldn't last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me, yeah, you and me
Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
'Cause it's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
(Tonight could last forever,
We are one choice from together)
A city on our knees
(Tonight could last forever)
A city on our knees
(Tonight could last forever,
We are one choice from together)
A city on our knees
(Tonight could last forever)
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say, "Here."
If we gotta start sometime I say, "Now."
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third-world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say, "Here."
If we gotta start sometime I say, "Now."
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third-world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Tonight couldn't last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight couldn't last forever
Tonight couldn't last forever
We are one choice from together
Family, we're family
Tonight couldn't last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me, yeah, you and me
Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
'Cause it's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
(Tonight could last forever,
We are one choice from together)
A city on our knees
(Tonight could last forever)
A city on our knees
(Tonight could last forever,
We are one choice from together)
A city on our knees
(Tonight could last forever)
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now
