Sittin' there on the edge of the curb
The people on the street just pass with no word
So come on lets observe the modern day marvel
It's just the humankind

Passing on by have you not learned your lesson
Jesus saved the weak and weary from the grips of oppression
Or are you waiting for your chance to make your confession
I know it puts you in a peace of mind

We're all just prisoners to these thoughts we can't escape
Lately I don't know if I'm asleep or I'm awake
I hope I get this all written out before my train of thoughts runs off the page
My thoughts meander I think I'm asleep at the wheel again

Scene cut to a world not even second, but third, how do you class the classless?
With a number not a word, a place where bombings on the street are likely to occur
Well how come more people aren't asking why? so pick up
Your own piece of the thread start today, only matter what you do, don't matter what you say
One time for the mothers the brothers the fathers the daughters
We won't let them be left for dead

Cause their all just prisoners to these lives they can't escape
Lately I can't bare there any more for them to take
I hope I get this all out tonight before they cover me up with the yellow tape
Once the truth is out let it be spread all over the place

Nobody should ever be held back, or living off what other people throw back
Something always makes me wanna hold back, we gotta find the love to overcome

We got to find the love to overcome
