Echoes In the Ghettoes

Echoes of Ghettoes
Sirens and No Silence
A baby cries and more violence
Suffering and Singing
Struggling and Sacrifice
Terrible yesterday, and a Better
tommorow
Today the same story
fame, glory
power, pain, and problems
came for me
yet with so much controversy
The Lord shows mercy
A place where real love
is continually shown
giving hope to the eyes that mourn
