So many stories to be told across the ages young and old.

Could it be that we've become immune to all we hear on daytime news,
|
Where is the passion to unite?
|
Because divided we can't fight all the troubles in this life.

There's so many things that we are fighting. Yeah.

There's so many people out there trying. Yeah.

And there's a little girl only six years old.
|
Her daddy does drugs.
|
Her mama's on the road.
|
She's a latchkey kid before she's even grown.
|
What we really need to do is give the girl a chance.
|
Put her on the road where there's no way back,
|
To a life that she's always known.
|
We gotta do something. Yeah.
|
Can't do nothing. Yeah.
|
|
A&E is full of life.

Somebody's son got in a fight.

Kids all high and having fun.
|
There will be a loss of life.

There's so many things we could be fighting. Yeah.
|
But do we give a damn and are we trying? Yeah.

Across town in a club, a girl's on the floor.
|
She's lying in the dark.
|
She did it once before.
|
Her body's full of drugs.
|
She did it for a rush.
|
Don't it make you wonder just how many more?
|
We gotta do something; it's not right.
|
Can't keep saying our hands are tied.
|
Gotta do something but it's too late:
