Lyrics
Keys of the Kingdom
It was raining last night here in Baltimore
Thought we?d get swept away
Thousands of people live on the streets
Seems that?s the American way
Believe in your city
Believe in your neighbor
Believe in yourself?s what they say
Black and white letters on every street corner
Community pride on display
Words of truth dispel the darkness
City lost in desolation
Hope by the dawn
We will find the connections we need,
Gonna search for the keys of the kingdom
Gonna carry me home
Gonna look for the keys of the kingdom
Find me the peace in my soul
We must dream to escape from the prison
Where poverty cuts like a knife
Drive through to see it?s amazing to be
In the city that?s fighting for life
Try to build the chance for children
Lost in cycles of destruction
Pray every day
And believe in the word that it says we must
Search for the keys of the kingdom
Gonna carry me home
Gonna look for the keys of the kingdom
Find me the peace in my soul
