Having grown up in Los Angeles, California, without Christ, I have personally experienced the reality of sin and the desparation it can lead to. Two of my dearest friends died as a result of substance abuse. This song addresses the fact that we all need to stop blaming others for our problems and start taking responsibility for our own actions and decisions. (Romans 1:18-20)

ALIBIS

verse 1:

She stands alone within a crowd of peers
Seeking refuge from her inner fears
But no one's listening to her silent song
It can't be heard unless you sing along

chorus

Feel the anger, cast the blame
Another victim in a world of pain
So many people harbor empty eyes
Voices echoing with alibis

verse 2:

The siren screams along the alley-way
As gunshot fire rings in another day
Hysterical parents shedding tears in vain
The evening news reveals another name
(chorus)

verse 3:

Perpetual motion of society
Keeps us moving on so frantically
But don't take time to stop and look around
You might not like the road your headed down
(chorus)

verse 4:

The answer is more than just an old cliche'
But will you choose the straight and narrow way?
The Savior alone can free imprisoned souls
Believe and say yes, or turn away and go-
(chorus)
