Janis Ian - The Mission Lyrics
"Jesus saves" up in neon lights
Lines are forming to the right
For a blanket, a bed
Shelter against the night
Old newspapers 'round their feet
They were someone's child once
Just like me
There's no place like home
Inside these walls
Safe from the cold
Another night falls
What's mine is mine
So I've been told
Some claim victory, some downfall
Some can make no claim at all
Bad breaks, high stakes
Alcohol
The streets are crowded with vacant eyes
Stripped of privacy and pride
How long can only the strong survive
There's no place like home
Inside these walls
Safe from the cold
Another night falls
What's mine is mine
So I've been told
There's no place like home
Give me your poor
Your tired, your hungry
All weary people
Who yearn to be free
I give them hope
And mercy to all those in need
...Have mercy on me
