My heart goes out
To see the innocent life going down in the street
My heart goes out
To see the motherless cry and the fatherless weep
My heart cries out
To see the innocent life going down in the street
My heart goes out

They try to distort the minds of the youth yea
By disguise and disregarding the truth yea
And never even teach them how to plant a seed to sow a tree to bear a fruit whoa alright then
They give them big guns to shoot
Try to turn the woman them in prostitute

We ago burn the fire ca we nah follow suit
