I could die before I wake - I wish this whole place was just made up
When I sleep I feel awake I feel the grenades that'll shake up
And my faith is just the reason that they pin point as my treason
Tie down all my dreams to their regimes while I'm beaten
I'm only six but whats sick is this ridiculous nature
They took a razor to my best friend and then raped her
I watched as they poured blood on a child from his own father
He was murdered while they tried to take his faith...
I seen his face and he reminded me of poppa
Who properly popped monsters and would tuck me in at night
Before I slept he would tell me that he loved me
Its the same thing that he said before they took away his life.
So when I close my eyes I see a place of happiness
No more of this apathy, pure love and we'll bask in it - yes
I can't wait, wait its my turn for the cameras -
But before you see me die won't you join and hold my hand??
Where you will go, I won't say no
The light is a road that's drifting me slow
And when I see darkness I'll hold on
Where you will go I won't say no - I won't say no
Throwing up from all the tragedy's that's blowin up
Growing up in places facing persecution makes it hard for us
Hard enough to stand for truth when groups of killers start with us
Guarding hearts hope the light of God now will spark some love
There's hope for us in the midst of evil doers
You see right through us yearning for a second chance that's creeping through us
I live in a corner of warzones and poor bones
Bodies breaking on a daily basis if your home's reflecting this
I empathize - my pain is televised people overseas watch the news
And they hear our cries - hear our goodbyes seeing families torn apart
Born apart from civilized society that's how our morning's start
Still my strength is very high - envision heaven next to me that's
What I'm living by - God's alive inside of me I'm praying for some light to shine
Know there's better days ahead of me in this life of mine
Where you will go, I won't say no
The light is a road that's drifting me slow
And when I see darkness I'll hold on
Where you will go I won't say no - I won't say no
When I was six I would tell myself that the good would always win
Whether it's undertaker with a pin or double dragon's revenge
And now the spotlights steady shining on my people now that are dying.
And what's the goal of this whole life whats the meaning?
Of survival - is it vital - to really hold on to my Bible
To pray to my God daily - will he heal me - see revival?
I hope so cause my windpipes in a chokehold
I poke holes through the window just to see past what is local
But it's dim is it sin or just the systematic entrapment of
My people - do I fight back - what is evil?
It's really hard to imagine how mankind can be like that
And so I hold on to my sister cause shes scared
In just a moment i could feel the world disappear
And then im floating off to a distance - i say bye to my prison
Peace when you held me in my sleep
I held onto my future with a "He saves" to my shooter
