[00:11.61]A Friday night affair
[00:13.72]Out in the city heat
[00:15.72]Always a party there
[00:17.50]Along the sordid street
[00:19.59]And it was guaranteed
[00:21.76]The place to be was Rocketown
[00:27.46]The drinks were two for one
[00:29.34]Inside the crowded bars
[00:31.31]The girls would make their run
[00:33.28]Down on the boulevard
[00:35.01]It was the idol place
[00:37.12]We lived the ways of Rocketown
[00:42.84]Hang around by the street light
[00:44.84]In the heart of the night life
[00:54.31]There came a certain man
[00:56.55]A stranger to the crowd
[00:58.58]We didn't understand
[01:00.33]What he was all about
[01:02.26]He walked a different pace
[01:04.56]So out of place in Rocketown
[01:10.29]They made a fool of him
[01:12.02]They teased him when he's speak
[01:14.06]But when they knocked him down
[01:15.97]He turned the other cheek
[01:17.65]He told me I could find
[01:19.97]A life outside of Rocketown
[01:25.10]Hang around by the street light
[01:27.37]In the heart of the night life
[01:29.33](CHORUS)
[01:29.90]What was his mission
[01:31.67]Where was he going
[01:34.15]Why was his heart light always glowing
[01:38.72]All I was missing
[01:41.40]He stood there holding
[01:44.05]What was his secret
[01:46.61]Could I know it
[01:58.77]Some didn't like him near
[02:00.51]Some laughed and turned away
[02:02.56]But me, I longed to hear
[02:04.28]All that he had to say
[02:06.39]He had a peace of mind
[02:08.77]I couldn't find in Rocketown
[02:13.40]And when I reached down inside me
[02:16.03]I could feel the emptiness
[02:17.71](CHORUS)
[02:47.31]He said it's in the heart
[02:49.18]This change that comes to be
[02:50.90]Now he had done his part
[02:53.05]The choice was up to me
[02:54.85]As we were standing there
[02:56.85]He said a prayer for Rocketown
[03:02.65]As we were standing there
[03:04.68]He said a prayer for Rocketown
[03:10.02]He walked off silently
[03:12.42]And prayed for me
[03:16.73]And Rocketown...
