Parody anyone? If you guess correct you win....a flashlight

Risin up
Back on the road
Did my time in the pigsty
Traveled the distance, heavy sins were my load
A prodigal with a will to survive

So many times
It happens too fast
Trade your religion for vainglory
Don't lose your faith for "other food" served up fast
You must fight just to keep it alive

Got my eye on the Tiber
Where the ray of the Light
Rises up to the challenge of Her rivals
She's the Church Jesus gave us and she'll always survive
And she's watching for us down the road
'cross the Tiber

Face of disgrace
Out in the heat
I've had enough
Of stayin' hungry
Backpack of sins I will take to the street
For a wing and a prayer to survive

Got my eye on the Tiber
And the ray of pure Light
Risin' up to the challenge of Her rivals
She's the Church Jesus gave us and she's shining so bright
And she wants all of us to come Home,
'cross the Tiber

Risin' up
Out of the slop
Going Home to my Mother
I went the distance now I'm not gonna stop
A prodigal with some hope to survive

Got my eye on the Tiber
Where the Dome shines so bright
Rising up to the challenge of Her rivals
She's the Church Jesus gave us, a bright beam in the night
And she's watching for us to come Home,
'cross the Tiber
Eye on the Tiber...
Eye on the Tiber...
Eye on the Tiber...
