Our young people are dying today and tomorrow, / and all that is felt is pain and sorrow.
I sometimes wonder if we’ll ever get ahead / with all the stabbings and shootings that leave so many young people dead.
We don’t fear anything anymore, / only a youth with a gun, wanting to start a war.
I wonder how many more young people will die these coming years, / to bring their parents tears.
It’s time we put down the guns and throw away the knives, / and stop shedding the blood of so many young lives.
Life is too short to have sorrow, you can be here today and gone tomorrow. / Then there’s no second chances to do things right. No second chances to follow the light.
Now today people…. I don’t know what you’re going to do, / but always remember, God is watching you.
