lyrics

Violence reigns down
upon us all.
It's a way of life.
The only life for some.
Being born into this hell
of poverty with no escape.
The rules of the street
are clear as they run through your head
every minute of every day.
Every second of every breath.
waiting is one more
step closer to the grave.

The sounds of bottle breaking and clips unloading with prostitute waiting and dealers doping.
The product of a broken family.
No one ever asks for this.
Raised by gangs to ensure survival.
It's kill or be killed and no ones asking to die.
At least not today.
At least not today.

Beaten down by life.

Fourteen years old.
With a back against the wall.
It's ten on four and death is creeping in.
You see your chance as the knife cuts deep.

You made it through today.

Only a child and doing hard time.
You may be safe from the streets
but now there's nowhere left to hide (on the inside)

You clear your head and you find a book.
You change the way that you view life.
It's painful at first
To get a second chance

It's a dream come true
