In The Wrong Place.....
In The Wrong Place.....
What is happening to our kids?
they walk into school
never knowing if they will be a hostage
never knowing if they will be blown to shreds
by some psycho path
out to ruin the day
it scares me so
it saddens my heart
how could one of God's children
be so ruthless
be so evil
taking the future away
one bullet at a time
when did this horrible situation
turn into such a constant crime?
I look at my son
so young and innocent
I am scared as I look into the future
I wish the years wouldn't age
I wish I could keep him a baby
because it's just too scary today
I think of when he finally goes to school
I can only pray that
if confronted with evil
he will have the courage
to still bow his head to pray
I hope he never has to deal
with a world so undivided
it kills the next generation living
but I am realistic too
and the odds today don't seem in my favor
all my faith says pray to God
He will lead you always from danger
but what about if you are in the wrong place?
