Lyrics
Where?s The Justice For My Child
When someone you love is gone, the memory is still so strong
You?ll think you see them everywhere you go
A million tears won?t wash the pain sometimes you think you?ve gone insane
But the saddest part of all, is no one cares
Where?s the justice for my child
Why do the ones who kill and lie, always get a second try
Has the whole world just gone wild?
Where?s the justice for my child
And we see one man get murdered, somewhere across the sea
The whole world is angered cause they show it on TV
But in the towns that we live in, and where our children play
A 100 or more people are killed here everyday
Where?s the justice for my child
Why do the ones who kill and lie always get a second try
Has the whole world just gone wild?
Where?s the justice for my child
We go to the trial and try to hide our tears
Our loved ones gone forever, the guilty got 10 years
The judge said he?s sorry, ?The trial could only last three days.
The courthouse is booked up with more cases on the way.?
A juror said, ?The sentence should have been more time.
But, they couldn?t agree on how much and it was almost five.
They hurried their decision, so each could go their way
I hope they thank the good Lord, their child?s alive today
Where?s the justice for my child?
Why do the ones who kill and lie always get a second try?
Has the whole world just gone wild?
Where?s the justice for my child?
And I?m so tired of people saying, ?I know what you are going through.?
The truth is you don?t, and I hope you never do
The jails are overcrowded there?s two in every cell.
The one?s who killed our loved ones should be transferred straight to hell.
Where?s the justice for my child?
Why do the ones who kill and lie always get a second try?
Has the whole world just gone wild?
Where?s the justice for my child?
Why do the ones who kill and lie always get a second try?
Where?s the justice for my child?
