0:03Trouble in little town
0:08People all gathered around
0:12Abandoned bag on a step
0:17This is what happened next
0:21I was only trying to hear what the teacher said
0:27Then I heard a gunshot ringing in my head
0:31I could see it on the evening news there's 23 dead
0:38In two-by-twos with our shirts stained red
0:43If we walk these streets of heaven
0:48We walk these streets of heaven now
0:59It's hard to get through the days
1:04Knowing they're miles away
1:08Knowing what could've been
1:13I look on down and I see
1:18My brother on the stand trying to make a case
1:22My mother in the hallway with tears upon her face
1:27The lawyers say these cruel machines they keep us safe
1:34But you and me we know the price to pay
1:39As we walk these streets of heaven
1:44Walk these streets of heaven
1:50Another shot wasted life
1:55Another friend to walk beside
2:00I know it hurts but wipe your eyes
2:05And we'll sing until the old men cry
2:10It's just the way it is I don't know why
2:15It's just the way it is I don't know why
2:20It's just the way it is I don't know why
2:25We're just a bunch of kids who didn't have to die
2:30As we walk these streets of heaven
2:35As we walk these streets of heaven
2:41As we walk these streets of heaven
2:47We walk these streets of heaven now
