Story Behind The Song

There is no excuse for crime. Just because a person is underprivileged and they come from a broken dysfunctional family doesn't give them an excuse for taking from someone or comitting suicide

Song Description

Dark Uptempo Latin acoustic w/gongas -Rough pleading vocal and Santana inspired guitar work

Lyrics

COME ON AND TAKE ME DOWN
TO THAT PLACE YOU CALL HOME
I DON?T KNOW WHERE IT IS
BUT I DO KNOW IT?S SOME PLACE OUT THERE
TOUCH ME NOW FEEL MY HEART
BEATING FOR MY PLACE IN THE SUN
TO MANY TREES ARE SHADING THE LIGHT
ALL I ASK IS A GLIMMER OF HOPE

CAN I HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE
IF YOU SAY KNOW I MAY TAKE IT ANYWAY
CAN I HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE
I MAY TAKE IT TOMORROW IF I DON?T TAKE IT TODAY

LOOK OUT MY WINDOW STORM CLOUDS COMING?
I DON?T KNOW HOW LONG THEY WILL LAST
SOMEONE HELP ME TO JUST HOLD ON
AND KEEP ME FROM DROWNING
UNTIL I?M A MAN
GOD IS GREAT GOD IS GOOD
LET US THANK HIM FOR THIS FOOD
OH, BUT TELL ME WHAT GOOD IS THE THANKS
WHEN THERE IS NO FOOD ON THE TABLE
( CHORUS )

SOMEONE TEACH ME RIGHT FROM WRONG
IT?S NOT A GOOD THING TO ALWAYS BE WANTING
HELP ME TO GIVE BACK SOMETHING I DON?T HAVE
INSTEAD OF TAKING SOMEONE ELSES TREASURE
HOLDING A GUN BETWEEN THEIR EYES
AND DEMANDING IS SUCH A MORTAL SIN
OR SHOULD I TURN THIS WEAPON ON MYSELF
BECAUSE I CAN?T DEAL WITH THE PRESSURES OF LIFE
