Cry, human cry   
Cry cry ooh Lord
There's a dark place in the heart of the city  
Where no one goes  
People up-town won't admit it  
They don't wanna know  
Children on the sidewalk looking so sad  
People out there they got bad intentions   
And there's nothing to lose
 
[Chorus]
Human cry cry cry  
Human cry from the battlefield  
Human oooh Lord  
Human cry oh Lord
 
Shattered dreams of forgotten souls  
Who struggle to exist  
People on the hill won't come near  
Afraid to take the risk  
Looking for a way out that's not there  
Desperate faces everywhere so hungry   
Searching for shelter
 
[Chorus]
 
Fragile the place is fragile  
We're on the edge of all tomorrows  
And you just can feel the tension  
Tearing us apart  
We're gonna let go if we lose a heart  
Ooh oh the place is fragile 
 
Say it's midnight on the street  
Graffiti everywhere  
And in a fortress on higher ground  
People live in fear  
No this ain't no distant dream  
It's in our own backyard   
Look all around you

[Chorus]
