i hear the cry of a mother
as if her womb had been ripped out of her
her little girl
innocent bystander
teachers couldn't save her
nor could the ventilator
one bullet changed her reality
imagine having to bury your baby
while everyone flirts with the gun lobby
avoiding policies that could have changed her destiny
it's time to take responsibility
come together be a better community
refuse to stand by idly
and live a life defined by tragedy
this is a wake up call
rise up and stand tall
be in it for the long haul
yes it's a wake up call
no voice is too small
we can all do more
this is a wake up call
no one's immune to this epidemic
secular or holy nothing's off limits
a brightest stars turn into our darkest nights
slowly killing a will to fight back
have we become so desensitized to not recognize
that we are perpetuating our own demise
letting anyone with a vendetta against humanity
take the stand and plead insanity
it's time to take responsibility
come together be a better community
refuse to stand by idly
and live a life defined by tragedy
this is a wake up call
rise up and stand tall
be in it for the long haul
yes it's a wake up call
oh
no voice is too small we can all do more
this is a wake up call
rise up and stand tall
be in it for the lord yes
it's a wake up call
no voices too small
we can all do more
this is a wake up call
