What Can I Do? feat. Kelly Price

歌詞

What can I do? What can I do, to make it better? Yeah, yeah I 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 a screamin' away And then the inevitable 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 reminds me of the now and the past I say me a prayer, cause eventually I'll stand in the path Of the souls and dark roads that lead to rest Do you hear them, crying? Waiting for someone to come and dry their tears (someone like you and me) Take away their fears And then a child is born Bloody naked, clingin' to life Unaware of his surroundings or if 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 unbearable 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 couldn'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 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 go Do 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, 'fore the sheets on my bed dried The turn of the table, the tale of the 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, Do 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? Do you hear them, crying? Waiting for someone to come and dry their tears Take away their fears Can I make it, better? Can I ease the pain that they are goin'
