Last night I dreamed that I was sneaking up on Babylon I awoke to find it was the very street I’m on
I close my eyes but what I see won’t go away
Away
The city closed the shelter down the street
We’d rather pay to save a tree than give our brother something warm to eat
It breaks my heart that we’re so incomplete, yeah, oh
Maybe there’s a reason for it But it’s so hard to see So many broken people
Living in this lonely city
When it feels right to give up
I get up and realize Your blood can cover all these stains
And You don’t ever miss a thing
No, no You don't ever miss a thing
I catch the news on channel 3 about once a week
But you see so much more
You see the husband flee the scene
You hear the woman hit the floor Crying out, “Can You still save me, Lord?”
You see it all ‘cause there is nothing You can’t see
And You can free us all ‘cause there is nothing You can’t free
And even when we fall You come and meet us at our knees
You don’t ever miss a thing, no
