Out Of Eden - Sarah Jane lyrics

little sarah jane ran away from home fourteen and pregnent she was all alone couldn't run from wrong, and was gonna be sent away walkin' with her black and blue eyes full tears the burden that she carries much to old for her years looking at her face would confirm your worst fears but instead she goes unnoticed Sarah Jane another girl who is dying inside you'd think that someone would stop but we hide, to intent on completing our day and she's left there to say Chorus: Do you hear me? Can you see me? Walking down the street watching you You could help me But your not looking I bet you would if only you knew You could make a difference Do you hear me? Can you see me? Walking down the street needing you I want to make it How can I get there? If you showed me that you cared, you know You could make the difference He's left to watch the world from the fifteenth floor alone with the reminder, don't go out anymore You know those boys are trouble here in our neighborhood BUt you're my boy and you've got the chance to be something good Still the call of the streets was too much to ignore Now he's caught up in the game and can't find an open door He's a good boy gone bad and he's trying to get out But everybody's too afraid to hear what he's talking about Marcus Brown, lives a life much too old for his age If no one responds, he'll be words on a page Another statistic dead cause no calls were made To check on the boy who was missing from the fifth grade chorus bridge Everywhere you turn there's hurting people pa**ing by Its such a shame that we could change a life but we don't try To look outside out world and delve Into the problems in this place The children need an answer, and God needs your face lisa: Well I really want to know if you're feeling me The situation is real to me bonafide: You got me feelin you under my skin Like Stevie got me wandering blind, again and again lisa: Do you really have a heart for the least of these And understand that we really need to teach to these Or keep living in a world where d**h is a fact Little kids asking, "why my daddy gotta die like that" Don't want to send my kids to school when they feel they got to pack the heat to survive the walk of the streets Where young women aren't alive because they still believe the lies and never recognize who God made them inside God help us if we don't help them find their way God help us if we don't change our living today God help us if we hide in the corner and ignore the cries of the street, Do you hear what they say? God pleas help them make is through the day God please send somebody to ease the pain You know they need a way up out the game I know you hear her God, her name is Sarah Jane
