miles in the street
born that way
three fights a week
black eyes like you never seen
left alone
father drunk every day
mother’s off with another
he’s got a child on the way
oh you know how it goes
just like fate
from days of youth
destined for a desperate life
ain’t no jobs for his kind
down on the line
have to find a way
have to fight to stay alive
he shot a man
in the back one day
didn’t seem to care
expected it was coming his way
now how to love this man
is it ever too late
can’t erase time
but why go kill another man
is your heart in your eyes
for love might save a life
is your heart in your eyes
for love might save a life
a life
