Oh what can I do What can I do To make it better, yeah, yeah I thank the Lord for every morning he allows me to rise And though the sun is shining there's a cloud in the sky Letting me know that at any moment there could be rain And as beautiful as life is there still could be pain Down the block I hear the sirens just-a screaming away And then the inevitable happens the ending of days Sad as it sounds, that's the price we've all got to pay And the whole world knows the Lord give it and take it away Live and I learn, I sit and watch my cigarette burn Down to the ash, reminds me of the now and the past I save me a prayer it's eventually I'll stand in the path Of the souls on the dark roads that leads to the man Do you hear them crying? Waiting for someone To come and dry these tears Take away their fears Another child is born bloody naked, clinging to life Unaware of his surroundings or if breathing is right In the arms of his mother as he looks in her eyes He takes his first breath and he screams The baby's alive And at the same time another mother murders her kids And the unbearable thought of this here just brings me to tears It's hard enough we got to raise our kids to live in this world So full of hate with no fate, and you're killing your pearls And sometimes I got to sit it down and wonder myself But then again I ain't Jesus and I couldn't help But all I can do is hope I never live with the fact That I hurt one of my seeds, 'cause dealing with that Would be the hardest thing I'd ever have to do in my time I'd have to take my own life too and I couldn't climb That stairway that you hear me sing about in my rhyme And a parent hurting his kid ain't a sign of the time I know there's truth in that statement we just living to die But I believe if you live it right, you'll live in the sky Looking down on the good and the bad, the world as a whole Now hopefully you did what you did 'fore you had to go Do you hear them crying? Waiting for someone To come and dry these tears Take away their fears Can I make it better? Can I ease the pain That they are going through? What can I do? what can I do? I say goodbye to you cruel world, I see peace in the red sky I see the beast when the dead die, relief when my head's high Hear the streets up ahead cry, when the heat from the lead fly Felt the grief when I said bye, before the sheets on my bed dried The turn of the table, the tale of the tape The destruction of human flesh of the not so great The long list of the John Doe's that accompany the spirit As the yells of the souls lost with hopes that god hears it The resurrections of empty hearts crowd in the room Muffled sounds of the outside echo the tomb, but I'm cool Do you hear me? The crying Do you hear them crying? Waiting for someone To come and dry these tears Take away their fears Can I make it better? Can I ease the pain That they are going through? What can I do? Do you hear them crying? Waiting for someone To come and dry their tears Take away their fears Can I make it better? Can I ease the pain That they are going through? What can I do?
