Red Light (Stop The Traffic)
Lyrics by Gavin Djata Smith / March 2008

Amazing grace
oh how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
was lost but now i'm found
was blind but now i see
in my hand i hold the key

I'm on the side of your street
shackles on my feet
open your mind and see
i have a right to be free
Please don't roll up your window
Please turn your stereo down
I need you to hear my cry
Don't just drive on by
Take a look around
The traffic ain't slowing down
From country to country
and city to town
we need to stop the traffic now
people shouldn't be
bought and sold
we need to stop the traffic now

I think we need a red light
To stop this traffic for me
We need a red light
To stop this traffic please

Amazing grace
oh how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
Was lost but now i'm found
Was blind but now i see
In my hand, i hold the key
In my hand
I hold the key
In my hand
I hold the key
In my hand
I hold the key

Chorus
