In Between It All by Jeremy, Saint Ignatius Graduate In between fences decorated in barbed wire, In between walls hidden under graffiti, In between many problems, In between it all. In between the war of gangs, Being overthrown by buildings and fences, Brainwashed by all this violence, In between it all. Trying to find an exit, Finally reaching the entrance of that exit, Finally reaching the entrance of a better life, Finally reaching St. Ignatius School, Finally not being in between it all.
