Not one More Child [Gun Violence]
[Intro]
Verse 1
Another name carved into stone,
Another mother waits alone.
Classrooms turn to battlegrounds,
While silence screams, no answers found.
Pre-Chorus
We light the candles, sing the hymns,
But broken prayers can’t fix this sin.
How many tears, how many cries,
Before we stop the endless lies?
Chorus
Not one more child should have to fall,
Their laughter stolen by a bullet’s call.
When freedom costs their precious lives,
Then freedom’s lost, and truth has died.
No child should bleed, no heart should break,
How many more until we wake?
Verse 2
Politicians trade their lines,
While we run out of borrowed time.
They pledge protection, but they stall,
What’s the price of doing nothing at all?
Pre-Chorus
The flags fly low, the headlines fade,
But another grave is quickly made.
We raise our voices, we demand,
A safer world is in our hands.
Chorus
Not one more child should have to fall,
Their laughter stolen by a bullet’s call.
When freedom costs their precious lives,
Then freedom’s lost, and truth has died.
No child should bleed, no heart should break,
How many more until we wake?
Bridge
Can you hear the silence in the halls?
Empty desks and shattered walls.
If we can’t protect the innocent,
What kind of nation do we represent?
Final Chorus
Not one more child, not one more dream,
No more blood spilled in between.
If justice sleeps, then we must rise,
For every tear in a mother’s eyes.
No child should bleed, no heart should break,
How many more until we wake?Not one more child...
Not one more child...
