I can’t do it anymore
The pains too strong
This is the end
I feel I can’t go on
I don’t want to die
But I can’t fight no more
I just want the pain to end
It’s time to knock on heavens’ door
I pray, I pray
I pray, I pray, I pray
Forgive us all, please
No more pain
I pray, I pray/
I pray, I pray, I pray
The haunting sounds wails
From a mothers’ cry
Looking to the heavens
Father asking why
Community state
Forever petrified
From this common
Lifestyle accepted undenied
Through a child’s eyes
Death got you hypnotise
The world will never
Hears the tears from a silent cry
the pains disguised
Hidden behind the sweetest smiles
Absence of hope alone
Can leave you paralysed
Broken masses
Lost faith in this madness
When a child is laid forever sleep
In closed caskets
Only then you stop to think
How could this happen
Parents burying the children
More often then, they should
It’s like the spirits of broken graves
Speak the pain of lost saints
It’s like the hanging rope
became the new chains
Polluted views
consume the youth today
It’s time to unite
To save those who lost their way
And I pray
The rain will fall
Where the rainbow forms
And the howling wind
Will teach you warmth
I pray, I pray
The fallen rise again
In the tree of life
I’ve seen a youth
Confirm his proof
Adamant in his views
Convinced beyond a doubt
He’s destined for the noose
A lifeless puppet
Elevated far from angels
Could understand the fractured mental psyche
As he dangled
Another holding a blade
Smiles disguise her pain
Conflicts of identity
Overshadowed by shame
The symptoms of oppressive
Abusive constitutions
Mark of a lifetime
Being raised in institutions
What is our state
If this is our great escape
When youth mortality dissipate
At alarming rates
Standing at a wake
Wishing they would awake
From this ugly vicious cycle
How much more can we take
Blood on the roots
bring bearers of bad news
Silencing the truth
We numb to the blues
Polluted views
Consume the youth today
It’s time to unite
To save those who lost their way
And we pray
The rain will fall
Where the rainbow forms
And the howling wind
Will teach you warmth
I pray, I pray
The fallen rise again
In the tree of life
See people Judge me
Call me selfish, they call me weak
But do you realise how broken
And how silenced you feel
When you can’t speak
Suicide isn’t weak
Leaving the one’s you love
Is the hardest choice that anyone could ever make!
You see when the pain is so strong
So terrifying
The only way for it to end
You feel it’s your life you must take
But suicide isn’t the answer to end this pain
The answer is in each other’s eyes
In our minds, It’s in our hearts
The answer is love
The way to end our pain
Is love
The rain will fall
Where the rainbow forms
And the howling wind
Will teach you warmth
I pray, I pray
The fallen rise again
In the tree of life
The tree of life
The tree of life
The tree of life
The tree of life
The tree of life
The tree of life
The tree of life
The tree of life
