Too Young, Too Soon
Seed of struggle and warfare
bloodshot eyes and untold despair;
Hands that never learned to reach for another’s, they bearing arms,
barely holding on;
They say keep running, keep jumping, keep ducking, keep dodging
victims of child’s play they never lay in no coffin;
Live on, grow up, be bolder be stronger but these brothers of mine, they just
had too much to lose.
Too young, too soon
Too much to lose
They say the world is watching.
These weapons wont heal us no they got no feelings
They wont fix this village and they surely wont raise our babies;
And I find it funny some say, money is all we need but empty handed we were born
and with nothing we’ll soon be leaving;
We can’t keep, reaching for love from a distance
Can’t keep putting up walls of resistance and masking our hearts
we got too much to lose,
Too young, too soon
Too much to lose, they say the world is watching.
