Kids you're our only hope
Save us now we need an antidote
Kids get out on the street
Through this smoke rise through the city heat
You loved me like a friend
But now I can't pretend
The time we used to spend
Was wasted on you
Police sirens make me deaf
As I run trying to catch my breath
What's the world afraid of now
We are taught to clap our hands and bow
Rise from the ashes with a song to remember
Kids you're our only hope...
