Happy Chinese New Year. It's the year of the Snake. As we may be renewed with new skin this year, I pray that we all meet the challenge of living up to it.
What have we done
What will we do
A boy with a gun
Hair blonde eyes blue
Kids killing each other
Over turf over drugs
A sad crying mother
Never to get another hug
Her son lies dead
Bleeding in the street
Another tear to be shed
In the hot summers heat
Our world crumbles down
We turn a blind eye
We stand looking around
Watching our cities die
The shots ring out
A signal to us all
Stand with me and shout
Stand proud stand tall
What have we done
What will we do
A boy with a gun
Hair blonde eyes blue
