Later in the day you get a call...
Theres been a shooting...
Your child has taken a fall!

Another student full of rage
Went to school with guns and hand grenades
Teachers and students are running scared
Theres blood everywhere, bodies in the halls
Friends and teachers are involved
You don't know what to do
Your in a daze, it happened so fast
It all ended in a blast!
Your child has been taken away
And it happened within a school day
We all must wake up and stop the violence!
Speak up! Don't be silent!
Our kids are dying
And some of us aren't even trying
We have to take a stand
And make this craziness end!!!
Life is worth living
And love is worth giving...
So why is this world taking our young souls
Instead of letting them grow old?
Why are we killing
Instead of healing?

At last I pray, "Dear God, Bless those who are left behind,
And let them keep this in mind...
We can not change what happened that sad day,
But maybe we can stop the sorrows of tomorrow."
