There`s a little girl livin` on the street
I don`t understand
Turnin` tricks to get some some food to eat
I don`t understand
There`s a mama prayin` to God to bring her baby back
I don`t understand
I don`t understand
There`s a crack house down across the tracks
I don`t understand
People tradin` smoke for cold hard cash
I don`t understand
There`s just no way this could be part of the greater plan
I don`t understand
I don`t understand
Is everybody livin` in a world without windows
Am I the only one who ses
If this is all that`s left of what was once the promise land,oh
I just can`t comprehend it
I just don`t understand
There`s a daddy walkin` out the door
I don`t understand
Leavin` three kids who need him more
Then he understands
These days the trouble starts right where the family ends
I don`t understand
I don`t understand
Is everybody livin` in a world without windows
Am I the only one who ses
If this is all that`s left of what was once the promise land,oh
I just can`t comprehend it
I just don`t understand
Is everybody livin` in a world without windows
Am I the only one who ses
If this is all that`s left of what was once the promise land,oh
I just can`t comprehend it
I just don`t understand
I don`t understand
