Face To Face – Im Trying

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 hes a man

Cant have it any other way

Laying in the street

Asking for a drink

Doesnt have a place to live

Pregnant at thirteen

Still can hear the screams

Something that she never will forget

Cant have it any other way

Im trying to open my mind

So you can keep your faith

And Ill just walk away

Theres no reason for me to stay

Im trying to open my mind

Im trying to make my mind
