A Friday night affair out in the city heat   Always a party there along the sordid street   And it was guaranteed the place to be was Rocketown      And the drinks were two for one, inside the crowded bars   The girls would make their run out on the boulevard   It was the idol place we lived the ways of Rocketown      Hang around by the street light   In the heart of the night life      There came a certain man a stranger to the crowd   We didn't understand what he was all about   He walked a different pace so out of place in Rocketown      They made a fool of him, they teased him when he'd speak   But when they knocked him down, he'd turn the other cheek   He told me I could find a life outside of Rocketown      Hang around by the street light   In the heart of the night life      What was his mission? Where was he going?   Why was his heart light always glowing?   All I was missing, he stood there holding   What was his secret, could I know it?      Some didn't like him near, some laughed and turned away   But me, I longed to hear all that he had to say   He had a peace of mind, I couldn't find in Rocketown      When I reached down inside me   I could feel the emptiness      What was his mission? Where was he going?   Why was his heart light always glowing?   All I was missing, he stood there holding   What was his secret, could I know it?   Yeah      He said, "It's in the heart", the change that goes to be   Now he had done his part, the choice is up to me   As we were standing there, he said a prayer for Rocketown      As we were standing there, he said a prayer for Rocketown   He walked off silently and prayed for me and Rocketown   Rocketown, down in Rocketown, yeah, yeah oh      Rocketown, Rocketown, he prayed for me, he prayed for me   Rocketown, Rocketown yeah, he prayed for me down at Rocketown   He prayed for me down at Rocketown
