Picking Up Knives

Mother watching from the windowMadre mirando desde la ventana

Funny how there's still no signEs curioso cómo aún no hay señales

Recently you know she's seen her baby changeRecientemente sabes que ha visto a su bebé cambiar

What if he has crossed the line?¿Y si ha cruzado la línea?

His brother was hanging with the big crowdSu hermano estaba con la multitud grande

Never seen a harder manNunca había visto a un hombre más duro

And the hero sets a battle for the childY el héroe prepara una batalla por el niño

He wants to do his family proudQuiere hacer orgullosa a su familia

Running through the beat of his lifeCorriendo al ritmo de su vida

Learning to graduate to picking up knivesAprendiendo a graduarse en recoger cuchillos

Yeah, yeah, yeahSí, sí, sí

Cover your ears from the violenceCubre tus oídos de la violencia

It's getting worse here day by dayEstá empeorando aquí día a día

Have you seen the streets¿Has visto las calles?

They're running with young bloodCorren con sangre joven

Crimson tide among the greyMarea carmesí entre el gris

Running through the streets of his lifeCorriendo por las calles de su vida

And he'll learn the tricks of the nightY aprenderá los trucos de la noche

Gotta prove his brother was rightTiene que demostrar que su hermano tenía razón

He'll get better at, better at picking up knivesSe volverá mejor en recoger cuchillos

And then, it tells another taleY luego, cuenta otra historia

Another young boy foundOtro joven encontrado

In the streets last nightEn las calles anoche

And the people hideY la gente se esconde

Afraid to go outsideTemerosa de salir

And the water's running wildY el agua corre salvaje

With the finding of the childCon el hallazgo del niño

Mother watching from the windowMadre mirando desde la ventana

Hears a sound beside the doorEscucha un sonido junto a la puerta

And she runs to it, her hand across her heartY corre hacia allí, su mano sobre su corazón

She sees her little boy once moreVe a su pequeño niño una vez más

But I stand watching from my windowPero yo estoy mirando desde mi ventana

I see the lights as they arriveVeo las luces mientras llegan

I've been waiting for you,He estado esperando por ti,

Waiting for all the nightEsperando toda la noche

Now I know the reason whyAhora sé la razón por la que

Running to the beat of his lifeCorriendo al ritmo de su vida

Where he learned the tricks of the nightDonde aprendió los trucos de la noche

He had to prove his daddy was rightTenía que demostrar que su papá tenía razón

But he got better at, better at picking up knivesPero se volvió mejor en recoger cuchillos

And I'll never understand (Picking up knives)Y nunca entenderé (Recogiendo cuchillos)

Never see him as a man (Picking up knives)Nunca lo veré como un hombre (Recogiendo cuchillos)

There was beauty in his eyes (Picking up knives)Había belleza en sus ojos (Recogiendo cuchillos)

(Picking up, sticking up, picking up)(Recogiendo, robando, recogiendo)

I will never say good bye (Sticking up, picking up knives)Nunca diré adiós (Robando, recogiendo cuchillos)
