What Can I Do?

What can I do?

What can I do, to make it better?

Yeah, yeahI thank the Lord, for every morning, he allows me to rise

And though the sun is shining, there's a cloud in the sky

Lettin' me know, that at any moment, there could be rain

And as beautiful as life is, there still can be pain

Down the park, I hear the sirens, just screamin' away

And then the unevitable happens, the end of them days

As sad as it sounds, but that's the price we all gotta pay

And the whole world knows God giveth, will taketh away (will taketh away)

I live and I learn, I sit and watch my cigarette burn

Down to the ash, it remindes me of the now and the past

I say a little prayer, cause eventually I'll stand in the path

Of the souls and dark rows that lead to restDo you hear them, crying?

Waiting for someone to come and dry their tears (someone like you and me)

Take away their fearsAnd then a child is born

Bloody naked, clingin' to life

Unaware of his surroundin's or breathin' is right

In the arms of his mother as he looks in her eyes

He takes his first breath and he screams (baby's alive)

At the same time, another mother, murders her kids

And the unbarable thought of this here just brings me to tears

It's hard enough we gotta raise our kids to live in this world

So full of hate with no faith, and killin' your pearls

And sometimes, I sit it down, and wonder myself

But then again, I ain't Jesus, and I can't help

All I can do, is hope I never live with the fact

That I hurt one of my seeds 'cause dealin' with that

Would be the hardest thing, I'd ever have to do in my time

I'd have to take my own life too, and I couldn't climb

The stairway that you hear me singin' bout it in my rhyme

And a parent hurtin' his kid ain't decidin' the time

I know it's truth, the next day, we just livin' to die

But I believe if you livin' right, you'll live in the sky

Lookin' down on the good and the bad, the world as a whole

And hopefully you did what you did, before you had to goDo you hear them, crying?

Waiting for someone to come and dry their tears

(Someone to dry their tears) Take away their fears

Can I make it, better? (I want to make it better)

Can I ease the pain that they are goin' through? (they're through)

What can I do?

What can I do?I say goodbye to you cruel world, I see peace in the red sky

I see the beast when the dead die, relief when my head's high

Hear the streets up ahead cry, when the heat from the lead fly

Felt the grief when I said bye, before the sheets on my bed dried

The turn of the table, the tale of this tape

The destruction of human flesh of the not so great

The long list of the John doe's that accompany the spirit

As the yells of the souls lost with hopes that god hears it

The resurrections of empty hearts crowd in the room

Muffled sounds of the outside echo the tomb, but I'm cool, I'm coolDo you hear me?

I'm cryin'Do you hear them, crying?

Waiting for someone to come and dry their tears

(Someone to dry their tears)

Take away their fears (take away their fears)

Can I make it, better? (gonna make it better)

Can I ease the pain that they are goin' through?

(Everything they're goin' through) What can I do?

What can I do?
