A Long Walk Home
I gotta hurry before the street lights come on
Loud firecrackers pop as I duck the drive-by zone
Open your eyes and stop pretending not to see
There's flying silver spears coming toward me
Some people call it 'Minding Your Own'
Nobody wants to tell the police, so the killers get to go home
Go ahead and look the other way
This could be someone you love the very next day
Everybody's crying, tears fill the hood
Trust me; I'd revive your son or daughter if I could
The devious wolves dress up posing as sheep
Look at innocent lamb covered in crimson...fast asleep
Why deprive the existence of what God call's GOOD
Another lost and rebellious teen misunderstood
It's way too dangerous to consider crossing the street
If we don't watch our own brother than whom do we keep
When you leave your soul will descend like a dove
Jesus Christ is the promise of eternity in heaven from above
