See the black tile line up   A thousand in a row   And if the beginning one topples   One by one they start to go   Creeping demolition   Gradual collapse   The foundation we built on   Becomes a twisted scene   Of falling dominoes   And my sorrow grows      A midnight knock on my door   Wants to sleep in my living room   He said, "Bec and me have gotten so bad   I couldn't stay there anymore"   I tossed him a blanket and remembered   How they used to be   How they loved each other   One after another   The bonds between them tumbled   Just like dominoes   And my sorrow grows      Mother and child   Woman and husband   I've seen the reaction   (Life chain)   Looks like a mild breakdown in communication   I've seen dominoes   Oh, I know how they fall   I know how they fall      See the neighborhood lineup   A hundred houses in a row   So many wounded families   Feel the anguish overflow   I met a boy this afternoon   Kicked out, someone said for his own good   I don't know who was right   I don't care much who was wrong   This boy don't belong on the street   And my sorrow grows      Mother and child   Woman and husband   I've seen the reaction   (Life chain)   Looks like a mild breakdown in communication   I've seen dominoes   Oh, I know how they fall   I know how they fall I know how they fall      And my sorrow grows   Children, can't we stay together?   God in heaven, give us love forever   Can I get a witness?   Can I get a witness?   Can I get a witness, people?   Can I get a witness?
