In the heart of the city where the streets bleed
Lost souls wander chasing that high speed
Eyes hollow voices filled with regret
Caught in the cycle deep in debt
Mama's crying 'cause her baby's gone
Lost to the bottle singing that same old song
Poppin' pills just to numb the pain
Rain like needles another lost to the game
But there's a light faint in the distance
A chance to break free to escape this existence
No more chains no more night fights
Step out of the shadows into the light
Gang wars painting the concrete red
Brothers in arms now lying dead
Revenge a cycle spinning out of control
A bullet doesn't choose it just steals the soul
Memories haunt like ghosts in the night
What's wrong what's right lost in the fight
But there's a whisper a voice within
Saying there's more to life than this sin
There's a path narrow and steep
Away from the edge from the fall so deep
No more tears no more endless fights
Step into dawn out of the endless nights
I've seen the pain felt the loss
Walked through the fire paid the cost
But I'm here standing a testament
To the strength of the heart not easily bent
It's a battle each day each night
Against the shadows against the blight
But in each of us there's a spark of light
A beacon of hope shining ever so bright
So take my hand let's walk this road
Leave behind the past the heavy load
Together we stand divided we fall
In the face of despair we shall stand tall
There's a future bright and clear
For those who dare who conquer the fear
No more darkness no more blights
We're the warriors of the light winning our fights
