I'm Trying Lyrics

4 year old at play
shot and killed today
never even had a chance
17 and high
threw away his life
has a gun to feel like he's a man
can't have it any other way
laying in the street
asking for a drink
dosen't have a place to love
pregnant at 13
still can hear the screams
something that she never will forget
can't have it any other way
I'm trying to open my mind
so you can keep your faith
and I'll just walk away
there's no reason for me to stay
I'm trying to open my mind
I'm trying to make up my mind
