There's a new life breathing downstairs
It's another beautiful night in late July
I can see the moon and the stars are all out tonight
I can see the airplanes flying high
It's just me and these smoked-out cigarettes
I'm staring at a high-wire crucifix
And I'm praying
Yeah, I'm praying for some guidance
On a rooftop in Baltimore
I feel like an old life suffocating in the night air
Looking down over these lights and wondering where mine went
When I was a child I swore that I'd always let it shine
Maybe up here God will help me find it again
It's just me and these smoked-out cigarettes
I'm staring at a high-wire crucifix
And I'm praying
Yeah, I'm praying for some guidance
On a rooftop in Baltimore
On a rooftop in Baltimore
I feel like an old soul stuck in its dark night
Until the day finally breaks I won't give up
And lately I've been thinking
Oh, I've been thinking it's high time
That I get up, go out, and start looking for love
It's just me and these smoked-out cigarettes
I'm staring at a high-wire crucifix
And I'm praying
Yeah, I'm praying for some guidance
On a rooftop in Baltimore
On a rooftop in Baltimore
On a rooftop in Baltimore
On a rooftop in Baltimore
