Two months ago an earthquake hit Central Italy, causing a lot of casualties.
On Thursday, Aug. 25, 2016 during his concert in New Jersey BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN dedicated “My City of Ruins” to its victims
MY CITY OF RUINS
There’s a blood red circle
On the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down
The church doors blown open
I can hear the organ’s song
But the congregation’s gone
My city of ruins/My city of ruins
Now the sweet veils of mercy
Drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner
Like scattered leaves,
The boarded up windows,
The empty streets
While my brother’s down on his knees
My city of ruins/My city of ruins
Come on, rise up! / Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! /Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!/ Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
…………………………………
Now there’s tears on the pillow
Darlin’ where we slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss
My soul is lost, my friend
Tell me how do I begin again?
My city’s in ruin/My city’s in ruin
Now with these hands, / With these hands,
With these hands/ With these hands,
I pray Lord With these hands/With these hands,
I pray for the strength, Lord With these hands/ With these hands,
I pray for the faith, Lord With these hands/ With these hands,
We pray for your love, Lord With these hands/ With these hands,
We pray for the strength, Lord With these hands/ With these hands, We pray for this world , Lord With these hands/ With these hands, We pray for the strength, Lord With these hands/ With these hands, We pray for the strength, Lord With these hands/ With these hands,
Come on, /Come on, Come on, rise up/Come on, rise up……..
