In the presence of struggle

Everyone has hope

But what if we run out?

There's no rich and no poor

No waves on the shore

All the trees burn down

We're ruining our own mother

Stomping her right to the ground

Then when we beg for forgiveness

We never walk the while

I know you can hear me

Feel you all around

I wish that you could answer

Or even make a sound

I've got questions God

Like why don't you tell us what we're doing wrong?

Do you hear me, you hear us?

My city, my people

We callin', we callin', we callin'

On ya

Do you hear me, you hear us?

My city, my people

We callin', we callin', we callin'

On ya

The streets getting crazy

Just like the 80s

We're zombies and don't even know it

The sick just get sicker

From cancer and liquor

And nobody cares to control it

We all know what's happening

Some people only play dumb

But I can't ignore it no more

I, I won't run

I know you can hear me

I feel you all around

I hope you will answer

While I'm praying on the ground

I've got questions God

Like why don't you tell us what we're doing wrong?

Do you hear me, you hear us?

My city, my people

We callin', we callin', we callin'

On ya

Do you hear me, you hear us?

My city, my people

We callin', we callin', we callin'

On ya

Hands together

Knees on the ground

Heads in the clouds, yeah

Praying out loud

Lost innocence cause

I'm just looking

For clarification

On what I'm doing wrong?

Do you hear me, you hear us?

My city, my people

We callin', we callin', we callin'

On ya
