Lyrics

rain is rhythm
someone?s beating on my window
the city talks to me
it sends voices spinning through my head
a strangers on the outside
but i am safe in bed

and then there goes the sound it rolls in the door
and you have swept me off my feet
but what about the glass on the floor
and if i fall will i break

out there i hear them screaming
children playing in a schoolyard
traffic running lights the dimness
the burnt out buildings
and from the hallways i hear salsa

there goes the sound it rolls in the doors
and you have swept me off my feet
but i remember the glass on the floor
that when you?re gone might cut my feet

for i am a city child
and i must be strong

oh come on mommy i know you want to go oh

cause the sound is the joy that rolls in the door
and the joy has swept me off my feet
so i?ll ignore the glass on the floor
for love the chance i?ll take

for i have lived as a city child
and i must go on

and this is the song
