With the needles and the guns
You should be in school right now
With your friends having fun
But instead of here smiling
You're lost somewhere unknown
Somewhere very far away
From the life you've called home
I know it's not always easy
I know some days it hurts
But there's people here that love you
More than needles every will
And the people that love you
Are looking everywhere
To bring you home and save you
From the evils out there
There's a safer place waiting for you
A bed to keep you warm
The streets are dark and creepy
It's not where you belong
I know you didn't like it there,
But it can't possibly be worse
Than all the dangerous street drugs
And needles that overdose
The place you're at now
Where ever that may be
That's not where the people love you
It's not full of opportunities
You had so much potential
Please don't throw that away
The trouble here
Can be worked out
If you'll come home to stay
