Lyrics The Kids Will Save Detroit - Parallels

Kicking us out around dawn
The cops came to say our time was up
We just wanted to keep what was left
Had our hands reaching out for that one silver bullet

I love the city
The river bleeds royal blood
All around, beautiful ruins brought to dust
Let the beat go on

In god we trust
So don't lose faith in us
My mama always said
The kids will save Detroit

I had taken the longer way home
To hear the plaza hart's sweet sounds
It's a place I had felt I belonged
The rhythms soul heals a strangers heart

This city haunts me
The vacant lots once so strong
Call it home, feel it breathing
If you listen close, you'll hear the beat go on

In god we trust
So don't lose faith in us
My mama always said
The kids will save Detroit

The city, it haunts me

Detroit city, her beat goes on and on and on
Detroit city, her beat goes on and on and on

In god we trust
So don't lose faith in us
My mama always said
The kids will save Detroit
