Lyrics

In a world filled with heartache
Blue skies become gray
Broken hearts form rivers of blood
Through the streets they flood
See the tears from their eyes fall
A purpose we've lost, oh
Find a ground and lay (?)
Like a castle, hey
So tell me where can we go now
We know the termination (?)
Things that we found this way
Like a fallen king
Seems like the wall's down
Thrown out the window
With all our trust betrayed
Like a fallen king
A momma cryin', holding on, her baby's only days old
'Cause the doctor told her that her baby will never grow
To run or play with a ball like the kids on the street
He gone but she not letting go
What about the man up on that corner
He faceless to us, don't nobody know him
But he fought in the wars for our freedom
But now we walk right past him 'cause we feel like we don't need him
What about our brothers in the wars?
They dyin' every day or coming home with them scars
He twenty-two, he stepped up on a bomb
And now he on a plane coming home with no arm
What about them babies up at Sandy Hook?
I saw they faces when I heard (?)
And it brought tears to my eyes
They say that was the day that hope died, but hope is still alive
And I pray it fall on them Chicago streets
To find that momma crying, she can't sleep
Because her baby gone, he six feet deep
Or her baby crying 'cause he ain't eat
Rivers of blood, they flowin' through our streets
We wide awoke, but we still sleep
Our eyes open, but we can't see
We not in jail, but we not free
In a world filled with heartache
Blue skies become gray
Broken hearts form rivers of blood
Through the streets they flood
See the tears from their eyes fall
A purpose we've lost, oh
Find a ground and lay (?)
Like a castle, hey
So tell me where can we go now
We know the termination (?)
Things that we found this way
Like a fallen king
Seems like the wall's down
Thrown out the window
With all our trust betrayed
Like a fallen king
