Letra de Elm Street

Saturday night in Plainville
Lots some local people go
To the downtown corner movie
For a late night picture show
And it's ninety mindless minutes
Of the best in blood and gore
They all come out laughing
Just can't wait for more
While on the other side of town
A child four years of age
Huddles helpless in defense
Against his father's rage
And as we spend our time and money
For life's moments' cheapest thrills
In our city, there's an Elm Street
Where the nightmare is real
Oh, God, have mercy on us, please
For the times that You've shown the need
And we've refused to see
Give us all a heart like Yours that grieves
For the lost souls on Elm Street
Who need to be released
Complacency's a poison
Taken one drop at a time
Fools our minds in thinking
That everything's just fine
Desensitize our spirit
With nothing left to feel
Till we never hurt for Elm Street
Where the nightmare is real
Oh, Lord, You've got to send me
Where it is I need to go
Put me on their street, Lord
'Cause they all need to know
That there's a God who's so much bigger
Than anything their going through
Oh, they need to know that there's a place
Where nightmares don't come true
Oh, God, have mercy on us, please
For the times that You've shown the need
And we've refused to see
Give us all a heart like Yours that grieves
For the lost souls on Elm Street
Who need to be released
Oh, God, have mercy on us, please
For the times that You've shown the need
And we've refused to see
Give us all a heart like Yours that grieves
For the lost souls on Elm Street
Who need to be released
