four year-old at play
shot and killed today
never even had a chance
seventeen and high
threw away his life
has a gun to feel like he's a mancan't have it any other waylaying in the street
asking for a drink
doesn't have a place to live
pregnant at thirteen
still can hear the screams
something that she never will forget
can't have it any other wayi'm trying
to open my mindso you can keep your faith
and i'll just walk away
there's no reason for me to staycan't have it any other way
can't have it any other way
i'm trying
to open my mind
i'm trying
to open my mind
i'm trying
to make up my mind
