I walked down main street yesterday
All the stores are gone away
Boarded windows, bolted doors
It isn’t what it was before
‘Cause once upon a time this place
Was filled with God’s amazing grace
. . People used to dream here
. . And they used to believe here
. .The sky was not the limit
. .Their hearts and souls were in it
. .They bore the burden every day
. .And went to church to sing and pray
And now the streets are empty things
Nobody dances, no one sings
What happened I can’t really tell
Why no one comes to ring the bell
They lost their faith in broken dreams
And gave away their souls, it seems
Surely they know not what they do
To give up truth and beauty, too
I guess they thought that chasing thrills
The needles and the little pills
Would all their empty places fill
ok, now we need some music.
Yeah. The hard part . . .
