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 



The drinks were two for one 

Inside the crowded bars 

The girls would make their run 

Down 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's speak 

But when they knocked him down 

He turned 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 



(Chorus)

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 

And when I reached down inside me 

I could feel the emptiness 



He said it's in the heart 

This change that comes to be 

Now he had done his part 

The rest was 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...
