City on Our Knees Lyrics

If you gotta start somewhere, why not here?
If you gotta start sometime, why not now?
If we gotta start somewhere, I say here
If we gotta start sometime, I say now

Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
We may step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

If you gotta start somewhere, why not here?
If you gotta start sometime, why not now?
If we gotta start somewhere, I say here
If we gotta start sometime, I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh, oh, oh

Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever
Ooh

Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Family
We're family
Oh, tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Yeah, you and me

Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cause its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh, oh, oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh, oh, oh
If we gotta start somewhere, why not here?
If we gotta start sometime, why not now?

What is the Meaning of City on Our Knees?

In a world that often feels like it's spinning out of control, this tune is a gentle nudge to step outside our comfort zones and make a difference. It's an anthem for unity, urging us to start here and now in bringing about change. The 'city on our knees' symbolizes a united community humbly seeking guidance from one king - potentially referring to God. Through the foggy uncertainty of life, we can find hope and love, crashing down like waves. The song suggests that when we choose unity over division, sinners and saints alike can coexist in harmony. So why not start today? After all, as the saying goes: there's no time like the present!
