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
