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...
