It's so easy to lose the burden - Take our eyes off the fields.
Settle into apathy and forget what the harvest yields - It's so easy
to think we're finished with our labor for awhile - Kick back and let
somebody else go the extra mile
(Chorus)
As long as there's a tearful eye that cries alone at night
As long as there's a weary soul ready to end the fight
As long as there's an aching heart that still has strength to beat
We gotta take this message Back to the street
We gotta take this message Back to the street
It's so easy to stay untangled in everyone else's life
(See #1 Below)
Don't get involved with strangers - don't get involved with strife
It's so easy to save your own life - resting on what you've done
But Jesus would leave the ninety nine to try to save the one
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat)
(Solo)
But somebody's got to take this message - Back to the street
(Repeat Chorus)
