Midnight breeze through a broken home

Coffee cold, radio low-tone
0:17
Bills on the wall say time to run
0:20
When the street decide who see the sun

Step into darkness, freedom somewhere

Sing freedom in a minor song

Silence keep her safe at night

Concrete floor, no place to rest
2:18
Whispered names, who gone next?

Pocket full of silent prayers

Future stolen, nobody care

Bridge
2:46
(Drop it down, chant-style)
2:46
Southern road where the guns dem talk
2:54
Bus stop—separate who can walk
2:57
Ransom call, mama cry

Some don’t live, some just die
3:03
She no ask why, she no stay
3:06
Feet keep moving anyway
3:09
Verse 4
3:13
Desert wide like judgment day
3:13
Bottle and shoes mark the way
3:15
Water gone, mind feel weak
3:18
Stars above but they don’t speak
3:22
Helicopter, siren cry
3:24
Freedom look like a place to hide
3:28
Caught mean cage, cold and bright
3:31
Free mean fear every night
3:34

She still walk, she still steer
4:13
Down the road of broken tears
4:19
