​streets of heaven

[Verse 1]
Trouble in little town
People all gathered 'round
Abandoned bag on a step
This is what happened next

[Pre-Chorus]
I was only trying to hear what the teacher said
Then I heard a gunshot ringing in my head
Can see it on the evening news, there's twenty-three dead
In two-by-twos with our shirts stained red

[Chorus]
We walk these streets of Heaven
We walk these streets of Heaven now

[Verse 2]
It's hard to get through the days
Knowing they're milеs away
Knowing what could've been
I look on down and I see

[Pre-Chorus]
My brother on the stand, trying to makе a case
My mother in the hallway, with tears upon her face
The lawyers say these cruel machines, they keep us safe
But you and me, we know the price to pay

[Chorus]
As we walk these streets of Heaven
Walk these streets of Heaven
It's to we walk these streets of Heaven

[Bridge]
Another shot, wasted life
Another friend to walk beside
I know it hurts, but wipe your eyes
And we'll sing until the old men cry
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
We're just a bunch of kids, we didn't have to die

[Chorus]
As we walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven now
