This city doesn't sleep at night
At ten o'clock it comes alive
There's 20 million people, then there's me

A taxi driver every day
A lot of work, a little pay
Just looking for a way to find some peace


But finding peace
Is way too hard

When you're looking in the dark

So shine, shine, shine on us

Oh God, we need Your love
These streets aren't bright enough
Oh Jesus, shine on us


I'm sitting on this corner here
My dignity just disappears

With every coin I beg into this cup
No matter how much people pay
It doesn't matter anyway

It never ever seems to be enough

The light inside

My heavy heart
Is getting way too dark


So shine, shine, shine on us
Oh God, we need Your love
These streets aren't bright enough

Oh Jesus, shine on us

God above is full of mercy

Turning darkness into dawn
All you who are weak and weary
Lift your heads and sing this song


Shine, shine, shine on us
Oh God, we need Your love

These streets aren't bright enough
Oh Jesus, shine on us


Shine, shine, shine on us
Oh God, we need Your love
These streets aren't bright enough

Oh Jesus, shine on us
