Shadows into Light

In the heart of the city where the streets bleedLost souls wander chasing that high speedEyes hollow voices filled with regretCaught in the cycle deep in debt

Mama's crying 'cause her baby's goneLost to the bottle singing that same old songPoppin' pills just to numb the painRain like needles another lost to the game

But there's a light faint in the distanceA chance to break free to escape this existenceNo more chains no more night fightsStep out of the shadows into the light

Gang wars painting the concrete redBrothers in arms now lying deadRevenge a cycle spinning out of controlA bullet doesn't choose it just steals the soul

Memories haunt like ghosts in the nightWhat's wrong what's right lost in the fightBut there's a whisper a voice withinSaying there's more to life than this sin

There's a path narrow and steepAway from the edge from the fall so deepNo more tears no more endless fightsStep into dawn out of the endless nights

I've seen the pain felt the lossWalked through the fire paid the costBut I'm here standing a testamentTo the strength of the heart not easily bent

It's a battle each day each nightAgainst the shadows against the blightBut in each of us there's a spark of lightA beacon of hope shining ever so bright

So take my hand let's walk this roadLeave behind the past the heavy loadTogether we stand divided we fallIn the face of despair we shall stand tall

There's a future bright and clearFor those who dare who conquer the fearNo more darkness no more blightsWe're the warriors of the light winning our fights
