It is so convenient for you just to live your life Living the life you're living now tells you to survive The way you feel is not the way, it's not the way you seem It could be the way you are, could be the way you dream The old have memories and pain The young have heartache and strain This world of ours is going down the drain Crime on the street poor with nothing to eat They say: Give us money, we'll never cheat Help you through the days Help complete the phase Help defeat the black and evil ways I've felt regeneration I've felt no hesitation The life I lead has lead to good retaliation You need to feel direction You need the right correction Wanting a good life, room enough for affection Thinking about today The cross shows you the way Grip the trip, you know the black will pay Expressing serious concern There's time for you to turn Live, give, the cross will help you learn I'm telling you my friend It's time for you to mend Time to straighten out before the end The black forces of sin will never let you in You're good like you should their patience is wearing thin What's right and what's wrong, the black forces are strong You did it, you hid it, you can't hide for long When you're old you'll look back, you'll know you look the right track Your neighbors and labors will not fade to black Down and across, the battle never lost Cross and black, the black and the cross
