Fire on the hill. Blood on the ground. Not what you see On the good side of town. Not what you'd think. Gone in a blink of an eye. Did he know? Silent and still, His broken prayer Falls from his lips, Vanishing in thin air. Falls to his knees, Breathing his sweet lullaby. And he knows But could he tell? Stuck like a horse On a carousel. All of the plans That he made himself May as well be smoke. What's left undone Pours from his side. Soul fades away As an ambulance cries. So close to home. There all alone in the dark And he knows Last night, Somebody's baby, Last night. Somebody's baby died.
