It’s been said that a little man can move mountains 
If his faith is as big as a mustard seed 
But I know that in this life it’s hard 
To believe in the little things that we can not see

In this land in the city of broad shoulders 
In the right part of town that we call the south side
In the midst of the railway cars 
The bloody streets the endless bars 
We strive to see a change in our minds and hearts
(Chorus)
Dark city bright lights underneath the city light 
Dark city bright lights tonight 

In my home where the neighborhoods are distant 
Where the pain of the past is remembered so vividly 
But I pray for the day when we turn the page be on our way 
And remember that we will bleed all the same
