 It’s so easy  to lose the burden——take  our eyes of 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
Jesus said go——into  all the  world, make  disciples  of all  men
We  gotta go——to the  highways,  compel  them to  come in
 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 with everyone  else’s life
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
 It’s not easy  to beat the system——it’s not easy  to face the heat
 But somebody’s got  to take  this  message
Back to  the street
 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
