Drugs is the number one killer
Of our young people today
It’s abusing and destroying them
In a sad and hurting way
We act like we don’t care
Turning away our head
We are finding our young
People strung out and dead

Looking and talking about
It, just won’t do it
We need to band together to
Help them get through it
Call a meeting and tell
Them about drugs
Show them some consideration
But most of all our love

We can do our best
To offer our affections
Put our arms around them
And offer our protection
They are looking for a way
To take back their life
Crying, fearful, fill with fright
Our young people are reaching
And trying to find hope
But we need to tell them
That poison is dope

We need to steer them in
The right direction
Building a bond
With love and affection
If this doesn’t scare you
Then tell me what will?
Drugs is on the streets
And we better wise up
So our young people can LIVE!
