Yeah, oh, 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, yeah

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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]

So 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, shine)

(Shine)
God above is full of mercy
(Shine)
Turning darkness into dawn
(Shine)
All you who are weak and weary
(Shine)
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, shine on us
(Shine)
Oh God, we need Your love
These streets aren't bright enough
Oh God, we need your love
These streets aren't bright enough
Oh Jesus, shine on us, yeah, yeah
