Little Children Lyrics - Eva Cassidy

(David Christopher) 

Dark night broken lights 

A boy on the corner with his hands held high 

He sees a gun sees an eye 

But he'd rather get shot than give it up 

Works for a violent man 

Who expects to get money when he sees him again 

And if he doesn't die on the corner tonight 

It won't take too long to catch him 

Children throw their lives away yeah 

A little more dying every day 

Little young man he ain't got a lot 

But he'd sell his whole world just to get what you've got 

He's not even sure if his body's hooked 

But if he gets a little higher he could fly away

Little young lady watch her children play 

There's two outside and one on the way 

She hasn't seen her man in a thousand days 

Since the police came around and took him away 

Children throw their lives away 

A little more dying every day 

Children throw their lives away 

A little more dying every day 

Children throw their lives away yeah 

A little more dying every day 

Sirens scream through the empty streets 

Headed to the scene of another mistake 

One man hanging on the edge of life 

The other one thrown in a bag 

Photos 

The children watch the children think 

That the bottom line is that nothing's free 

But it doesn't take much to end a life 

When the thoughts stop coming out straight 

Children throw their lives away 

A little more every day
