1. When we were young the future was so bright.
The old neighborhood was so alive,
And ev'ry kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big in ev'ry beat.
Now the neighborhood cracked and torn.
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn.
How can one little street swallow so many lives?
Chances burned, nothing's free
Longing for used to be.
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams.
2. Jenny had a chance, well she really did
Chances burned, nothing's free
Longing for used to be.
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams.
Bridge, then repeat Chorus.
