Another innocent child caught in the cross-fire of a drive by shooting.

Lyrics

Catch The Children

I fell asleep late one night
And woke up to the news
They said another child had been shot
By someone with an attitude

I heard his father cry out
Oh there?s darkness in this day
That?s when I decided it was time for me
To get on my knees and pray

I asked God if he could help him
And then oh please to help us all
The children falling just like raindrops
But no ones there to catch them
When they fall

Lying awake in bed that night
I couldn?t shake his pain
The images passing through my mind
Enough to drive a man insane

How many more will cry-out
Well there?s darkness in this day
It?s just as easy to turn our heads
And look the other way

So let?s ask God to help him
And then oh please to help us all
The children falling just like raindrops
But there?s no one s there to catch them
When they fall

I put my pen to paper
Because it helps to ease my mind
I?d write about tomorrow, Lord
But tomorrow seems so far behind

When will all this madness
Simply go away
Forget about tomorrow
And let?s focus on today

And ask God to help him
And then oh please to help us all
Catch the children,
Someone catch the children
Before they fall, catch the children
