8:18 lyrics

[Verse 1]
Streets dawn with empty light
Bullets clutter the sidewalk
The gun trembles in a young man's hand
The mother visits a grave site

[Chorus 1]
They ask why we suffer
Oh God please answer
Rivers run, mountains peak
We remain scared

[Chorus 2]
I try to remember
You and me together
Rivers run, mountains peak
We all remain scared

[Bridge]
It's so abrupt
The life designed for us
Reach out, end fear
Reach out, end fear
It's so abrupt
The life designed for us
Reach out, end fear
Reach out, end fear
[Chorus 1]
They ask why we suffer
Oh God please answer
Rivers run, mountains peak
We remain scared

[Chorus 3]
The city mourns another loss
But we'll pray forever
Rivers run, mountains peak
I know You're there
