[Verse 1] Streets dawn with empty light Bullets clutter the sidewalk The gun trembles in a young man's hand The mother visits a grave site [Chorus 1] They ask why we suffer Oh God please answer Rivers run, mountains peak We remain scared [Chorus 2] I try to remember You and me together Rivers run, mountains peak We all remain scared [Bridge] It's so abrupt The life designed for us Reach out, end fear Reach out, end fear It's so abrupt The life designed for us Reach out, end fear Reach out, end fear [Chorus 1] They ask why we suffer Oh God please answer Rivers run, mountains peak We remain scared [Chorus 3] The city mourns another loss But we'll pray forever Rivers run, mountains peak I know You're there
