There are faces of men
Who have lost at romance
There are others who never
Even had a chance
Old faces with not many years
Broken souls too tired for tears
But no one hears
'Cept the midnight mission
Thank God there's someone who cares

Oh, won't you line' em up
Down at the midnight mission
Downtown where no one can see
I said now line' em up
Down at the midnight mission
Thank God for humanity

Well there's john and there is jim
Professional men
To something made them
Never want to work again
Down on the corner
There's half a man
Lost his legs
In some foreign land
And betty never had
Nothing anyway
So at the mission she'll stay

Oh, won't you line' em up
Down at the midnight mission
Downtown where no one can see
I said now, line' em up
Down at the midnight mission
Thank God for humanity
Thank God for humanity

We all work for the weekend
That's when we kick back our ease
But you're sending out children
Out to corporate wars
When we can't even feed
Our own families

Oh, won't you line' em up
Down at the midnight mission
Downtown where no one can see
I said now, line' em up
Down at the midnight mission
Thank God for humanity
Thank God for humanity
Oh, won't you line' em up
Down at the midnight mission
Downtown where no one can see
Baby, won't you, line' em up
Down at the midnight mission
Thank God for humanity
Thank God for humanity
Baby, won't you hide
