Maxi Priest - Human Cry lyrics

Cry, human cry Cry cry ooh Lord There's a dark place in the heart of the city Where no one goes People up-town won't admit it They don't wanna know Children on the sidewalk looking so sad People out there they got bad intentions And there's nothing to lose Human cry cry cry Human cry from the battlefield Human oooh Lord Human cry oh Lord Shattered dreams of forgotten souls Who struggle to exist People on the hill won't come near Afraid to take the risk Looking for a way out that's not there Desperate faces everywhere so hungry Searching for shelter Human cry cry cry Human cry from the battlefield Human oooh Lord Human cry oh Lord Fragile the place is fragile We're on the edge of all tomorrows And you just can feel the tension Tearing us apart We're gonna let go if we lose a heart Ooh oh the place is fragile Say it's midnight on the street Graffiti everywhere And in a fortress on higher ground People live in fear No this ain't no distant dream It's in our own backyard Look all around you Human cry cry cry Human cry from the battlefield Human oooh Lord Human cry oh Lord
