"Can I Live"

Find it a little odd
Don't feel safe in my own skin
So full of fear
That it could happen all over again
Who's next?
Could it be me?

When is enough, enough?
When is it too much to bear?
When does it stop being tough
And when will somebody care?

Can I live?
To see to tomorrow
Must I give you a reason

Find it a little daunting
Nobody hears our cries
Till yet another victim
But why does someone have to die?
To bring it to light
Much too late

When does the hatred stop?
When will freedom ring again?
When will we give all we've got?
To sustain the dream?

Can I live?
Can I live to see tomorrow?
Must I give
Must i give you a reason

We've got our hands up
We mean no harm
We come in peace
My brothers and sisters
Enough is enough
We're standing in love
For one another
Don't shoot, don't shoot us down
All I'm asking is
Can I live

"Can I Live"

"Adult"
By Samuel Jonathan Ashe II

Feelin' a certain way
Suffered another loss the other day
Some things I'll never understand
Is there an answer?
Is there an answer?

I steep in silence
As I'm chipping away
At my childhood
Can't look back
When things were good
Adult
So little understood

Stayin' in indefinitely
It's a war outside
Growing old or the cling
To the early ways
Still slipping away

I steep in the silence
As I'm chipping away
At my childhood
Can't look back
When things were good
Adult
So little understood

But I still steep in the silence
As I'm chipping away
At my childhood
Can't look back
When things were good
Adult

The Ashes
