Keep Them Safe

Keep Them Safe I was born in New York City It wasn’t safe nor was it pretty That’s where I spent my young adult life I realized it wasn’t safe for my children or my wife There was always that threat of danger I didn’t want my family victimized by a stranger I packed them up and sent them to a New Jersey town We bought a house on a street that part of the name is brown Life went well and my kids are now grown All my kids now have a family and house of their own
