City on Our Knees Lyrics
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh
Tonight couldn’t last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight couldn’t last forever
Ooh
Tonight couldn’t last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We’re family
Oh Tonight couldn’t last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cuz its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh
We are one choice from together
Tonight couldn’t last forever
Ooh
Tonight couldn’t last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We’re family
Oh Tonight couldn’t last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cuz its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now

im not a huge toby mac fan either but ever since me and my bf went to see him and skillet in concert this past sunday ive LOVED this song!!!! :)
Fantastic Song! No comments?! Anyways, I view it as Christians(or any God believers!) That in order to change this generation of non-believers we must start small(example: our city). I especially love this line(s): "Tonight's the night For the sinners and the saints Two worlds collide in a beautiful display"
I view it was sinners and saints coming to forgiveness and acceptance with eachother.
Great song, beautifully written because it was written by TobyMac..not much more to say on that point. :)

This song is so encouraging. It says that to find peace we have to find it here where we are every day. It also kind of reminds me of the coming of the Savior. Talking about love falling to the Earth and the hope in the distance, because isn't that every Christians hope? The coming of Jesus Christ? It's mine..

I do agree with Isabelle those three lines are beautiful and encouraging.

This song is great. I'm not a humongous Tobymac fan, but he's definitely got some good songs out there. We need to change our world, and that won't happen unless we all join together.
I think this song is saying that when we bring people to christ, its really the most beautiful thing to witness. He's saying what's stopping you from starting on this quest now and where would you start. tobyMac is a really deep and real artist with his music.
