Cocaine killed my community
Heroin hurt my home
Mama went down on the Morphine
Papa got high on the Physeptone
My sister swings on Psilocybin
My brother broke up on Barbituates
My two little cousins got shot selling rock
Outside the old school gates
CHORUS
I don't mind cos I live in the light
I live in the light of the Lord
The sword, the Lord he gave me
Is the sword thats gonna save me
I live in the light of the Lord
'Cos
I need it every hour,
I need it every hour,
I need it every hour my gracious Lord
Heroin hurt my home
Mama went down on the Morphine
Papa got high on the Physeptone
My sister swings on Psilocybin
My brother broke up on Barbituates
My two little cousins got shot selling rock
Outside the old school gates
CHORUS
I don't mind cos I live in the light
I live in the light of the Lord
The sword, the Lord he gave me
Is the sword thats gonna save me
I live in the light of the Lord
'Cos
I need it every hour,
I need it every hour,
I need it every hour my gracious Lord
