Lyrics
Bystander
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shots they ring out every night in my community
an audible testimony of another life that is soon to be either the creator or the victim of a circumstance enhance from this chance not standing there in a trance presiding over your child at the funeral or viewing believing all the lies that the media is spewing telling you that guns were meant for unlawful kill
be not a puppet to television brainwashed at there will
BYSTANDER (4X)
Persecuted and put down on the playground every single day
because when you go to school free lunch is what pays the way
but keep your nose in the books and one day you'll come out ahead
responsibilty is what is keeping the family fed
strive for the goals that you set for yourself
don't be ashamed that the aid will put the food on your shelf
please understand that a child's words can rip the soul
stay focused on Christ and stay in control
BYSTANDER (4X)
One thing is true that even people in love fight
but don't blame yourself if things don't turn out so right
you're still their child and they'll love you forever
and this in no means you become a parents lever in a marital split
where your welfare is at hand when push comes to shove
they both love you and will stand up for the best interest in the name of the family
it's not your fault in a love-gone-a -stray-tragedy
BYSTANDER (4X)
