| He'd trade his guns for love
|
| But he's caught in the crossfire
|
| And he keeps wakin' up
|
| But it's not to the sound of birds
|
| The tyranny, the violent streets
|
| Deprived of all that we're blessed with
|
| And we can't get enough, no
|
| Heaven, if you sent us down
|
| So we can build a playground
|
| For the sinners to play as saints
|
| You'd be so proud of what we've made
|
| I hope you got some beds around
|
| 'Cause you're the only refuge now
|
| For every mother, every child, every brother
|
| That's caught in the crossfi-, that's caught in the crossfire
|
| I'd trade my luck to know
|
| Why he's caught in the crossfire
|
| And I'm here wakin' up
|
| To the sun and the sound of birds
|
| Society's anxiety
|
| Deprived of all that we're blessed with
|
| We just can't get enough, no
|
| Heaven, if you sent us down
|
| So we can build a playground
|
| For the sinners to play as saints
|
| You'd be so proud of what we've made
|
| I hope you got some beds around
|
| 'Cause you're the only refuge now
|
| For every mother, every child, every brother
|
| That's caught in the crossfi-, that's caught in the crossfire
|
| Can I trust what I'm given?
|
| When faith still needs a gun
|
| Whose ammunition justifies the wrong?
|
| And I can't see from the backseat
|
| So I'm askin' from above
|
| Can I trust what I'm given, even when it cuts?
|
| So heaven, if you sent us down
|
| So we can build a playground
|
| For the sinners to play as saints
|
| You'd be so proud of what we've made
|
| I hope you got some beds around
|
| 'Cause you're the only refuge now
|
| For every mother and every child, every brother
|
| That's caught in the crossfire
|
| That's caught in the crossfire
|
| That's caught in the crossfire
|
| Who's caught in the crossfire, baby, baby
|
| Who's caught on the cross |
