The Red Zone

War is all around us

Fighting everywhere

Poverty, destruction

Do they really even care

Brothers fighting brothers cause their color's blue

So we're living in the red zone, what am I supposed to do

Sometimes I feel like I don't want to sing at all

Then I think about you baby and I know I got stand up tall

Babies making babies, full of china white

Cracking down a dark street, they can't even see no light

Living for a pipe dream smoking out the blessed minds

Killing sweet, defenseless people

They don't even do no time

Sometimes I feel like I don't want to sing no more

Then I think about you honey

And what my sweet Lord had for me in store

I'm living in the red zone but you know it's not that bad

Cause I got you beside me and I don't have to feel so sad

I'm living in the red zone, don't you worry about a thing

Cause you got me to hold you tight

And you'll be standing in the wings

Holocaust apartheid all around the map

One lady has 10,000 shoes and another has food stamps

So many bag people with nowhere to go

I can't believe it still goes on

Living life in the red zone

Sometimes I feel like I don't want to sing at all

Then I think about you baby and I know I got to stand up so tall

I'm living in the red zone but you know it's not that bad

Cause I got you beside me and I don't have to feel so sad

I'm living in the red zone, don't you worry about a thing

Cause you got me to hold you tight

And you'll be standing in the wings

You reached in and drew a string of lights all around my heart

You comfort me and you walked me through the dark

I'll always love you for the things that you've given me

To be loved by you is a blessing
