title: "drown it out"

"i hear the words,
i hear the sentences,
i know the meanings,
i know they're bad,
so i drown it out.
i hear how they speak,
i see their lips move,
it s every other word,
i know they can do without,
so i drown it out.
i see their actions,
i hear them swear,
i see them talk without a care,
so i drown it out.
i pray for these kids everyday,
hoping that someday they'd say
"be quiet" or "your kind"
i can't imagine what goes through
their minds when they say those things,
those dark, evil, crude, meaningless things.
i just sit there and think these poor kids...
they need a solid rock on which to stand.
they all need a helping hand,
i just hope they'd understand,
that if they need love,
all they have to do is look up above,
and no they won't need to stare,
they just need to know that there is someone
there who does care!
hes the guy who made two a pair,
hes the big man upstairs,
i hope they'd just realize that God is there
for them without a doubt,
hes the guy i go to help me
drown it out."
