The Mission

Janis Ian, Kye Fleming

[Verse 1]
"Jesus saves" up in neon lights
Lines are forming to the right
For a blanket, a bed
Shelter against the night

[Verse 2]
Young men sleeping away their dreams
Old newspapers 'round their feet
They were someone's child once
Just like me

[Chorus]
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 likе home

[Verse 3]
Some claim victory, some downfall
Somе can make no claim at all
Bad breaks, high stakes
Alcohol

[Verse 4]
The streets are crowded with vacant eyes
Stripped of privacy and pride
How long can only the strong
Survive

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Give me your poor
You're tired, you're humbler
All weary people
Who yearn to be free
I give them hope
And mercy to all those in need
Have mercy on me
