VICTIMS-Glen Park 5^th grade ©2004

CHORUS-C/G/A/F

What’s up I’m a victim you a victim too/I’m walking down the street seeing victims like you

We all survive tragedy/We all got pain/Victims of somebody’s game

2^nd time…We all survive pain/They say it makes us stronger-This victim game

VERSE-D/E/F/G

These are the victims:

He walked upon the earth/He saw his baby’s birth

The mother survived but the innocent baby died

She smoked and drank and now their baby is gone

A victim of addiction-drugs killing her loved ones

These are the victims, these are the victims, these are the victims…

She has no trust in her family and she just don’t care/She don’t get trust anywhere

She looks in the street she looks in the sky/Kneeling down-she asks God why

Should she keep looking or should she stop/If she does she might as well drop

These are the victims, these are the victims, these are the victims/We are (L side)/the victims (R)

CHORUS

VERSE

I went rolling off the highway/Felt like I was falling

My mother was scared while I just stared

World please protect my family cause I need this earth to support me

Help my family live in harmony/Let them be who they are/Safe happy homes for our family

We must try and be free/Keep up with our health/Learn to forgive/Please let my family live

We are the victims, we are the victims, we are the victims and we are still free

CHORUS

BRIDGE-C/B/Bb/A

I’m through being a victim/I have to try my best/I have to make it through this victim test

Help people before they get hurt/No one deserves to be pushed in the dirt

No one can stop me-I am free/If other victims can get freedom so can we

Let’s all work together/Cause our lives can only get better

VERSE

Back in the day I have to say/I went to a school/Where people thought I was a fool

I saw friends get hurt/Bruises on their hands/I still go back now and then

Cause I want to walk down the hall safe /I’m gonna do it/I’m gonna yell it out loud

It is our job to protect the little ones so they can play and be proud

Getting yelled at, getting pushed around/ I’m lost and I want to be found

I can’t fight my fears and I hate these massive tears

They think they’re so slick but they’re not so cool

And when they get hit they just scared fools

See me walking down the street/Now you heard my story

And we must be heard/Memorize our words

CHORUS
