Crossfire, Part III

Can you cross the street without crossfire

Skidmarks under car tires

All my neighbours they call prayers

Other side of the barbed wire

I'll watch from my porch

'Till it's dark out and the vampires

Eating alive the damn sirens

We watch the game like umpires

Stray like a stray dog from what they are

Fighting a park

Left the battlefield without a scar

Run from a cop when the vapor clears

Work hard hoping that it pay off in the end

But you ain't sure

It's the crash course

But you ain't insured, 'cause you can't talk

Heaven if you sent us down

So we can build a playground

For the sinners to play as saints

You'd be so proud of what we made

I hope you got some beds around

'Cause you're the only refuge now

For every mother and every child, every brother

That's caught in the crossfire

That's caught in the crossfire

Smile a little more when you're awake

They won't see us shake

Heaven waits on Earth when we obey

Let us say our grace

Baby boy and baby girl (girl)

Take control, this is your world (world)

Tiny hands, they move with love

We are yet the best to come

We are yet the best to come

Through the worst, we rise above

Pain is what we blossom from

Show the man we're looking up, up

Doesn't matter who you love

Doesn't matter where you're from

This is not a place for some

We're the same, so it's all or none
