He'd trade his guns for love But he's caught in the crossfire And he keeps wakin' up But it's not to the sound of birds
The tyranny, the violent streets Deprived of all that we're blessed with And we can't get enough, no
Heaven, if you sent us down So we could build a playground For the sinners to play as saints You'd be so proud of what we made I hope you got some beds around Cause you're the only refuge now For every mother, every child, every brother That's caught in the crossfire
That's caught in the crossfire
I'd trade my luck to know Why he's caught in the crossfire And I'm here wakin' up To the sun and the sound of birds
Society's anxiety Deprived of all that we're blessed with We just can't get enough, no
Heaven, if you sent us down So we could build a playground For the sinners to play as saints You'd be so proud of what we made I hope you got some beds around Cause you're the only refuge now For every mother, every child, every brother That's caught in the crossfire
That's caught in the crossfire
Can I trust what I'm given When faith still needs a gun? Whose ammunition Justifies the wrong? And I can't see from the back seat So I'm asking from above Can I trust what I'm given Even when it cuts?
So, heaven, if you sent us down So we can build a playground For the sinners to play as saints You'd be so proud of what we made I hope you got some beds around Cause you're the only refuge now For every mother, and every child, every brother That's caught in the crossfire Who's caught in the crossfire Who's caught in the crossfire Who's caught in the crossfire, baby, baby Who's caught on the cross
