Lucky Seven Falls Below Zero

Nowadays the odds are against you the minute you are born A rose is only protected when it has its thorns Even the most vicious animals want to protect their young Parents stories of doing right too often unsung In a world that is not so peachy Raise your kids teach them about reality We only want what's best for them no matter where they go Lucky Seven sometimes falls below Zero Drugs, alcohol, teenage pregnancies and gang banging No more innocence, no more Little Red Wagon These kids today need a world to call their own Sad but true sometimes it's not at home We must find ways for them to beat the streets Don't let our most valuable resource, our own kids deplete Today more than ever these kids need heroes Lucky Seven sometimes falls below Zero
