Someone must put an end to the destruction on our streets
Peel back the layers of poverty that is the devouring hope in the community
Where dreams are not just dreamed but made reality
Where your life is not predicted as a statistic
Where families aren't destroyed by the plaque of addiction
Heartache doesn't flood the hearts of many
Where deception, greed, ignorance, hate, and weakness
Doesn't eat away the minds of strong individuals
Where the disgust of living in pain does not
Rise to the surface of your skin like blood
Where love enters your nostrils like a sweet smell
Where positive thinking does not just infrequently come
But becomes the frame of mind everyday
It’s time, it’s time, oh lord it’s time
For goodness to reign on like the words of Dr. Martin Luther King
I am here to say Enough
I say Enough
Enough
That pain ends here
