The lyrics effectively sum up the story of the [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] movie - "Seven Corners, two souls fight. One wants money, one wants light. Without peace, without love, nothing's ever gonna turn out right. A child with a spirit neither one can ignore, here to show them heaven's door. Love always wins in the end." Some lyrics from the poem were spoken by [[Ingrid Chavez]] in the movie. The song remains unreleased, however.
