Jordan Ellis Mobley - Somewhere Close Lyrics

Seven years old he was taken from home
With a picture of his family, and a trash bag full of clothes
Too young to understand
What was happening to him

First the police cuffed his mother
Then split him from his brother
And now
He's Lying in the corner of the room
With people he don't Know
In a house that ain't his home
That boy feels like cancer

No, I won't just stand here
No, I won't just stand here

Memories like a shotgun through his chest
Loneliness like a noose around his neck
Swallowed in the lie, that he was born to fail
Ever since his daddy disappeared, and his Mom wound up in jail

No, I won't just stand here
No, I won't just stand here

Right now and somewhere close
There's a kid with a life he never chose
Asking God how could he do this
Victim of surroundings
Anxiety compounding
All he wants, is any one who can mean it
When they promise they won't leave him

Nooooo I won't just stand here
Nooooo
