harvest (band) - market and vine lyrics
huh!
on the edge of the city
there’s a dangerous place
the people call it market and vine
it’s full of all the broken
dreams of yesterdays
and children too young to be so wise
she’s thirteen and pretty
been two years on her own
she sells the only thing that she has
in this part of the city, she’s left all alone
believes it’s too late to ever go back
for the street is a place
the warrior reigns
only the strong will survive
but under the hate
and the fear that remains
the children are praying
down market and vine
just north of the city
there’s a place real nice
where people can move and be safe
it’s full of pretty churches
and steeples so high
the ministers don’t have to be brave
they talk about jesus
even talk about his blood
but words can be cheap
when they talk about his love
they keep on building bigger
keep on saying they care
but seldom will you ever see
just one of them there
when the street is a place
the warrior reigns
only the strong will survive
but under the hate
and the fear that remains
the children are praying
down market and vine
he’s worked hard for his money
now he’s wealthy and proud
he can buy anything he’d ever want
but deep in the heart
of the city tonight
lie the broken remains of his little girl
she’s looking for answers
and a place to be safe
she’s hiding from her daddy’s
heavy hand on her face
she’s living unprotected
in a world of fear
she’s praying every day
hoping someone would hear
the street is a place
the warrior reigns
only the strong will survive
but under the hate
and the fear that remains
the children are praying
the street is a place
the warrior reigns
only the strong will survive
but under the hate
and the fear that remains
the children are praying
down market and vine
huh!
