Sweet Honey In The Rock - Women Gather lyrics

He was her only child, her baby boy She was his second daughter, a father's pride and joy Somebody's mother, brother, best friend, sister, lover Maybe an A-1 student running, hiding, taking cover The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans It doesn't matter where you're living The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans It doesn't matter where you're living The women gather People say, "Not in this neighborhood! It doesn't happen here! Our kids have everything What do we have to fear?" But what about the ones who say, "This happens every day; Drugs and violence take our children How much more d**h can come our way?" The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans It doesn't matter where you're living The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans It doesn't matter where you're living The women gather Don't you know? Some bullets find their targets Bombs can take you right on cue Some in the hands of babies Or officials and their crew Claimed the brother had a gun She fit the profile in my book Running, hiding, taking cover, didn't take the time to look Somebody's mother, brother, best friend, sister, lover The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans It doesn't matter where you're living The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans It doesn't matter where you're living The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans It doesn't matter where you're living The women gather crying tears that fill a million oceans It doesn't matter where you're living It doesn't matter It doesn't matter It doesn't matter where you're living
