Joshua Perahia - Steady Weapon lyrics

Darkened clouds fill the sky The sun no longer shines on the streets where they live At those times when all is silent, You can still hear the cries from long ago Was a boy, tried to understand Just what it takes to be a man in this world? As a child, he took the pain, he realized it didn't have to be that way Then it all changed But I know sometimes at night, The child inside still tries to cry for you And I know he still wonders why nobody ever took the time to say: In this world, nothing sacred still remains the same Nobody cared Now the helpless child is gone And in his place a man walks tall who's not so afraid All around him violence thrives Cities bleed but his soul will survive His weapon is a steady mind Comes from deep inside His strength and his will to survive Now he knows all his life they've tried to break him down And hide him from the truth But he knows the voice inside his head, has always told him… He knows in life he'll be the steady weapon Steady weapon Memories of the darkest nights, are still haunting him As a boy grows up in time The man is born and he learns Nothing remains the same The voice inside his mind tells him: He holds a steady will to survive Steady Weapon I'm a steady weapon
