What a ya say?

Shotgun's cracking A little child lying in the street There's something lacking People, it ain't no mystery What a ya say? To a wailing mama What a ya say? To a wailing mama What a ya say? To a family A little child of her mama Shot before here eyes Sprawled on the cold hard ground In the dead of the night What a ya say? To a wailing mama What a ya say? To a wailing mama What a ya say? To a family Mama seen it, many many many times before Just last week, right next door Two blocks down, just the night before Lord are you still there? We could use, we could use An answered prayer What a ya say? mercy mercy what a price to pay What a ya say? Mercy mercy what a to pay What a ya say? Mercy Lord, show us the way What a ya say? Mercy mercy, what a ya say? What a ya say? Sing it from a mountain top What a ya say? Just the other day
