I am hoping to put an end to this mess
I can't do it alone,
Now my kids are getting threats
from unknown people.

We moved away from all the trouble
the violence, moved towards hope.
Here there was little violence,
money and friends to be made

Then we encouraged our family
to join us here, a brother and his girl
If I had known what trouble all of this
would be, I would have said forget it
and let things be.

Working now on having
baby number three,
Helping out the brother
is wearing on me.

Soon it will be over
far away the light I see
our troubles will be lessened
when our children number three.
I'm beginning to think
there is no end
to the trouble in my pocket.

I'm beginning to think
I cannot mend
a child's broken heart
