lyrics

Its seven thirty and yeah sure thats early but we heard the warning bell
I had so much to tell you & you only tho we dont really know each other well

I tried to take my time
and now I have to pay the price
I'm gonna stand in line
I have to change my life

Its five and im alive tho many others died in just the last few days
Some men in a black van grabbed Jenis hand an pulled her in and then
they drove away

Its harvest time
We're on the other side
Youre gonna have to stand in line
If you want to change your life

At ten I left new friends pretending once again well meet in peace someday
My travel now is light if I dont make it home tonight we still have yesterday

When we stood side by side
For a little while
You put your hand on mine
It made me smile
