little sarah jane ran away from home

fourteen and pregnent she was all alone

couldn't run from wrong, and was gonna be sent away

walkin' with her black and blue eyes full tears

the burden that she carries much to old for her years

looking at her face would confirm your worst fears

but instead she goes unnoticed

Sarah Jane another girl who is dying inside

you'd think that someone would stop

but we hide, to intent on completing our day

and she's left there to say



Chorus:

Do you hear me?

Can you see me?

Walking down the street watching you

You could help me

But your not looking

I bet you would if only you knew

You could make a difference

Do you hear me?

Can you see me?

Walking down the street needing you

I want to make it

How can I get there?

If you showed me that you cared, you know

You could make the difference



He's left to watch the world from the fifteenth floor

alone with the reminder, don't go out anymore

You know those boys are trouble here in our neighborhood

BUt you're my boy and you've got the chance to be something good

Still the call of the streets was too much to ignore

Now he's caught up in the game and can't find an open door

He's a good boy gone bad and he's trying to get out

But everybody's too afraid to hear what he's talking about

Marcus Brown, lives a life much too old for his age

If no one responds, he'll be words on a page

Another statistic cause no calls were made

To check on the boy who was missing from the fifth grade



chorus



bridge

Everywhere you turn there's hurting people passing by

Its such a shame that we could change a life but we don't try

To look outside out world
