Carry The Torch

(앨범: Walkin' In The Shadow Of Life - 2004)

In any town on any night
There's a young man trying to fight for his life
Streetwise, walking on the shadow side
Got a gun up in his chest, and a snake in both his fists

This young man he ain't got no plan
Skulls and bones is all he knows
Idle eyes a glowing

Too much time with nothing to do
He needs some help from me and you

Listen

Put your ears on people
Me and the Brothers got something to say
What's what is what we're laying down
The message from the father is about to come down

Come on

You may not a care
Let's just say a prayer
Forgiveness is the key that might just help him by

Come on

You may not a care
Let's just say a prayer
And carry the torch of love in your heart

Sister, honest girl, took to the streets
Baby's crying, daddy's gone and trying to make ends meet
She cries, boohoo
Walking on the shadow side, law of the jungle
Got her soul up in a twist

The scarlet scar is on her face
She ran away, gone without a trace

Grandma and Grandpa done all they can do
She needs some help from me and you

Listen

Put your ears on people
Put your ears on
Me and the Brothers got something to say
What's what is what we're laying down
The message from the father is about to come down

Come on

You need a care
Let's just say a prayer
Forgiveness is the key that might just help her by

Come on

You need a care
Let's just say a prayer
And carry the torch of love in your heart
