Cities Are Burnin'

Cities are burnin' where is the love
Cities are burnin' where is the love

Cities are burnin'
Have our fathers sealed our fate
Casting shadows
Shadows from the grave
Fire lights
Up the cheeks of an innocent face
Cryin' mama
Can you take me from this place
Teach the hate, Learn to hate
All those different from you
Makes understanding
Just too hard to do

If you're down because your baby's got no shoes
On her feet, You got a right to be
If you're down because your dreams are like
A setting sun, Always on the run
Or if you're down because the color of your skin
Seems to mean so much more, than where you've been

CHORUS
Dry your eyes because your love can take us
To another place, and we got to go
Dry your eyes because my love will take you
To another place, another time
Dry you eyes because our love together
Is the only thing gonna get us there

Cities are burnin' where is the love
Cities are burnin' where is the love

Cities are burnin'
See my brother in the street
Dodgin' bullets
From the guns of the police
Is it time
Is it time to turn the page
On the anger
On the anger and the rage
Light the fire, light the fires
But listen as they burn
Hear the lessons
We have yet to learn

If you're down because, when you're walkin' down the street
You got to run, from everyone you meet
If you're down because, the gang fights and the cocaine get so old
When your son is cold
And if you're down because your love is like a ship
Out on the roughest seas
And you're down on your knees

CHORUS
