I was just walking down the street 

Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet 

Yet what happened so tragically 

Really makes for no sense at all 

Suddenly two guys confronted me 

Saying I was on the wrong turf, angrily 

They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray 

I started to turn to go back 

They up and blew me away 



My love is with you where ever you are 

My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat) 



Though my life they've taken 

They can't take what we've shared 

Spread the love I've given 

And I'll be there 



I was out playing with my friends 

You know, doing those silly things kids do at ten 

But the crossfire I was caught in 

Should not have been in the first place 

A dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech 

Someone yelled "nobody gets away with dissen me" 

Across the street a man pulled his nine 

Everybody started to run 

A shower of bullets rang out 

Mistakenly my life was done, oh 



My love is with you where ever you are 

My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat) 



Though my life they've taken 

They can't take what we've shared 

Spread the love I've given 

I'll be there 



My love is with you where ever you are 

My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat) 



When you're joyful 

When you're lonely 

When you're happy 

When tears are streamin right down your face 

In the morning 

In the noon time 

In the evening 

In the wee wee hours of the nighttime hour 

In the summer 

In the springtime 

In the autumn 

In the cold long winter, winter nights 

My love is with you 

My love is with you my best friend 

My love is with you my brother 

My love is with you my sister 

My love is with you my mother 

My love is with you my father 

I'm with you - (repeat) 

Ban the hand gun - chant
