[00:12.23]Trouble in little town
[00:16.98]People all gathered round
[00:21.68]Abandoned bag on a step
[00:26.42]This is what happened next
[00:30.98]I was only trying to hear what the teacher said
[00:35.41]Then I heard a gunshot ringing in my head
[00:39.99]I could see it on the evening news there's 23 dead
[00:45.95]In two by twos with our shirts stained red
[00:50.41]We walk these streets of heaven
[00:55.13]We walk these streets of heaven now
[01:06.12]It's hard to get through the days
[01:10.88]Knowing they're miles away
[01:15.44]Knowing what could've been
[01:19.87]I look on down and I see
[01:24.47]My brother on the stand trying to make a case
[01:29.03]My mother in the hallway tears upon her face
[01:33.65]The lawyers say these cruel machines they keep us safe
[01:39.41]But you and me we know the price to pay
[01:43.87]Is we walk these streets of heaven
[01:48.81]Walk these streets of heaven
[01:53.22]Is to we walk these streets of heaven
[01:58.08]Another shot wasted life
[02:02.74]Another friend to walk beside
[02:07.14]I know it hurts but wipe your eyes
[02:11.64]And we'll sing until the old men cry
[02:16.40]It's just the way it is I don't know why
[02:20.81]It's just the way it is I don't know why
[02:25.22]It's just the way it is I don't know why
[02:29.78]We're just a bunch of kids who didn't have to die
[02:34.44]As we walk these streets of heaven
[02:39.05]We walk these streets of heaven
