Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep;
If I should die before I wake,
I pray thee, Lord, my soul to take
I cry out every night maybe one day our eyesâ??ll open and we wont be so oblivious to scene dear god I pray to you wont you help those who need you in their time of need since we cant seem to see threw the fog that dims our light dear god I pray for the light to consume the darkness inside dear god wonts you hear me we need you to help us see whats right in front of our eyes
I look into his eyes with the piercing of a knife he seems to hurt inside his world turned upside abused as a kid slapped around but the lies of protection come about what can we do if hes unwillin to share we see and let it be it wasnt are fault even tho we didnt try to make it stop excuses to make us feel better, but it is he who lies dead in the gutta no attention paid while we walk these streets cause we gotta get that paperstack which means no time for the youth we dont blame the father cause his childhood was rough but he lives to cause the same pain for his kids circle of evolution people at the funeral for the boy whose unknowen uncarin at least it wasnt me but you try to hide your selfishness inside as those fake tears roll down your cheeks and you think of your daily needs and you stay oblivious to the scene
two years later the image erased from our brains only to be stained once again kept sick outta school poisened what we see with our eyes we pretend to be deceived neva learnin the lesson how many gotta die before we realize to take the stand and speak up for the one who cant school callin but thats as far as it gets when she disappered no one noticed cause their eyes closed oblivious to the scene
now wed think by now our lesson learned take a second to pay attention to the ones in need but it slip by our radar asleep at the wheel lil girl of 13 raped by a man of trust told not to tell or death will become of her she took a chance whats life if you cant live it right her mother struck her down how dare she lie about her man pregnant where to go mother doesnt believe the father pedophile no money for abortion so she goes out on her own to raise the child she shouldnt have to bear; the father of the child searches out for the one who told slain on the streets but its to much to help step over and stay oblivious to the scene
