I was just walking down the street
Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet
Yet what happened so tragically
Really makes for no sense at all
Suddenly two guys confronted me
Saying I was on the wrong turf, angrily
They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray
I started to turn to go back
They up and blew me away

My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are

Though my life they've taken
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
And I'll be there

I was out playing with my friends
You know, doing those silly things kids do at ten
But the crossfire I was caught in
Should not have been in the first place
I dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech
Someone yelled, "Nobody gets away with dissin' me"
Across the street a man pulled his nine
Everybody started to run
A shower of bullets rang out
Mistakenly my life was done, oh

My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (my love is with you)
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (my love is with you)
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are

Though my life they've taken
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
I'll be there

Oh-oh, oh-oh

My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (my love is with you)
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (my love is with you)
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are

My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (my love is with you)

When you're joyful (my love is with you where ever you are)
When you're lonely
When you're happy (my love is with you, where ever you are)
When tears are streamin' right down your face (my love is with you)
In the morning (my love is with you where ever you are)
In the noon time
In the evening (my love is with you, where ever you are)
In the wee wee hours of the nighttime hour
In the summer (my love is with you where ever you are)
In the springtime
In the autumn (my love is with you, where ever you are)
In the cold long winter, winter nights (my love is with you)

My love is with you (my love is with you where ever you are)
My love is with you my best friend (my love is with you, where ever you are)
My love is with you my brother
My love is with you my sister (my love is with you)
My love is with you my mother (my love is with you where ever you are)
My love is with you my father (my love is with you, where ever you are)

I'm with you (I'm with you)
I'm with you (I'm with you)
I'm with you (I'm with you)
I'm with you (I'm with you)
Ban the hand gun, ban the hand gun (I'm with you)
Ban the hand gun, ban the hand gun (I'm with you)
Ban the hand gun, ban the hand gun (I'm with you)
Ban the hand gun, ban the hand gun (I'm with you)
Ban the hand gun, ban the hand gun (I'm with you)
Ban the hand gun, ban the hand gun (I'm with you)

Ban the hand gun, ban the hand gun
Ban the hand gun, ban the hand gun
Senseless

"Hello, we're sorry we missed your call
But if you'll leave your name and phone number
We'll be sure to call you back
Thank you and God bless you"
