Come mother heart of the city
Throw off the depression that weighed you down
Open your eyes to see your children
They long to have you nurture them back to life
Remember your dreams of a better future
Where children ran free with smiles on their faces
Remember the hopes of owning a land
Where you could determine how your children grew up
Come mother heart of the city
Find your home around God’s table again
Listen to the beat of his Kingdom come
You are the song keeper – holding, interpreting
Come mother heart of the city
Reach out to the brokenhearted
Open your arms to welcome the stranger
Compel the city to your unity, to your hope
Come mother heart of the city
Find your healing here
