Sound the Alarm
Sound the alarm! Our children are
dying in the streets
At the hands of their brothers, not
the men in white sheets
They are gunned down in cold blood
without a second thought
Not hung by the rivers after being
chased down and caught
Sound the alarm! Our children are
taking each other’s lives
Spraying bullets in a crowd and
wouldn’t care if no one survives
They are not afraid to die, so they
think its all fair game
They can kill you with no remorse and
not even know your name
Sound the alarm! Our children are
killing each other
Our babies are dying on the streets,
one after another
Somehow they have lost hope and have
no plan for this life
Living their life on the edge and
inflicting misery and strife
Sound the alarm! Our children are in
need of our helping hand
We cannot take the sideline on this,
we must take a stand
We have fought for our freedom and
justice for all
Now we must fight for our children or
as a people we will fall
Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm!
Sound the alarm!
