Shots they ring out every night in my community<br>
an audible testimony of another life that is soon to be either the creator or the victim of a circumstance enhance from this chance not standing there in a trance presiding over your child at the funeral or viewing believing all the lies that the media is spewing telling you that guns were meant for unlawful kill<br>
be not a puppet to television brainwashed at there will
<p>
BYSTANDER (4X)
<p>
Persecuted and put down on the playground every single day<br>
because when you go to school free lunch is what pays the way<br>
but keep your nose in the books and one day you'll come out ahead<br>
responsibilty is what is keeping the family fed<br>
strive for the goals that you set for yourself<br>
don't be ashamed that the aid will put the food on your shelf<br>
please understand that a child's words can rip the soul<br>
stay focused on Christ and stay in control
<p>
BYSTANDER (4X)
<p>
One thing is true that even people in love fight<br>
but don't blame yourself if things don't turn out so right<br>
you're still their child and they'll love you forever<br>
and this in no means you become a parents lever in a marital split<br>
where your welfare is at hand when push comes to shove<br>
they both love you and will stand up for the best interest in the name of the family<br>
it's not your fault in a love-gone-a -stray-tragedy
<p>
BYSTANDER (4X)
