Take a break to look and see
How much it costs just to release
I'm holding onto what you are
Because I want to see you free
Lord, give me the strength to reach
For the solution to the cause I seek
Stay here and take my hand
And I'll lead you today
This life is yours and
I don't wanna see it wasted away
Set in stone, that all alone
It may be hard to overcome
The very trend, that seems to end
The lives of those who cannot run
Please, put the knife and gun back,
Bullet casings don't need to
Decorate the home you live in
Way too many times have I had a friend die
Because they felt that in life, they could not win
Step down and crawl away from the light
You're the reason why your friends cherish life
Take this pen and scratch your name off the list
God, please, you're worth more than this
(God please, you're worth more than this)
(God please, God please!)
Stay here and take my hand
And I'll lead you today
This life is yours and
I don't wanna see it wasted away
The pills, the blades, and the cannons in your hands
Are not worth the pain your peers withstand
If you break yourself off from the truth
'Cos no matter what, there's hope for you!
