Sarah Jane Lyrics

Sarah Jane lyrics

little sarah jane ran away from home
fourteen and pregnent she was all
alone
couldn't run from wrong, and was gonna be sent away
walkin' with
her black and blue eyes full tears
the burden that she carries much to old
for her years
looking at her face would confirm your worst fears
but
instead she goes unnoticed
Sarah Jane another girl who is dying
inside
you'd think that someone would stop
but we hide, to intent on
completing our day
and she's left there to say

Chorus:
Do you hear
me?
Can you see me?
Walking down the street watching you
You could help
me
But your not looking
I bet you would if only you knew
You could make
a difference
Do you hear me?
Can you see me?
Walking down the street
needing you
I want to make it
How can I get there?
If you showed me
that you cared, you know
You could make the difference

He's left to
watch the world from the fifteenth floor
alone with the reminder, don't go
out anymore
You know those boys are trouble here in our neighborhood
BUt
you're my boy and you've got the chance to be something good
Still the call
of the streets was too much to ignore
Now he's caught up in the game and
can't find an open door
He's a good boy gone bad and he's trying to get
out
But everybody's too afraid to hear what he's talking about
Marcus
Brown, lives a life much too old for his age
If no one responds, he'll be
words on a page
Another statistic cause no calls were made
To check on
the boy who was missing from the fifth
grade

chorus

bridge
Everywhere you turn there's hurting people
passing by
Its such a shame that we could change a life but we don't
try
To look outside out world and delve
Into the problems in this
place
The children need an answer, and God needs your
face

lisa:
Well I really want to know if you're feeling me
The
situation is real to me
bonafide:
You got me feelin you under my
skin
Like Stevie got me wandering blind, again and again
lisa:
Do you
really have a heart for the least of these
And understand that we really
need to teach to these
Or keep living in a world where death is a
fact
Little kids asking, "why my daddy gotta die like
that"
Don't want to send my kids to school when they feel they
got
to pack the heat to survive the walk of the streets
Where young women
aren't alive because they still believe the 
lies and never recognize who God
made them inside
God help us if we don't help them find their way
God help
us if we don't change our living today
God help us if we hide in the corner
and ignore the cries of the street, 
Do you hear what they say?
God pleas
help them make is through the day
God please send somebody to ease the
pain
You know they need a way up out the game
I know you hear her God,
her name is Sarah Jane
