the mission lyrics
[verse 1]
“jesus saves” up in neon lights
lines are forming to the right
for a blanket, a bed
shelter against the night

[verse 2]
young men sleeping away their dreams
old newspapers ’round their feet
they were someone’s child once
just like me

[chorus]
there’s no place like home
inside these walls
safe from the cold
another night falls
what’s mine is mine
so i’ve been told
there’s no place likе home

[verse 3]
some claim victory, some downfall
somе can make no claim at all
bad breaks, high stakes
alcohol
[verse 4]
the streets are crowded with vacant eyes
stripped of privacy and pride
how long can only the strong
survive

[chorus]
there’s no place like home
inside these walls
safe from the cold
another night falls
what’s mine is mine
so i’ve been told
there’s no place like home

[instrumental]

[outro]
give me your poor
you’re tired, you’re humbler
all weary people
who yearn to be free
i give them hope
and mercy to all those in need
have mercy on me
