Word just came from upstate Joe Lower the flag again This time it's Dayton, southwest Ohio Last night El Paso, Texas counted 22 deadSoon the brass will offer up their thoughts and prayers Soon there'll be protests in the street And the media from out of town Will chew it up and spit it outThen move on to the next one Before we even grieve Yeah, then move on to the next one Before we even grieveSome say we start to die on the day that we're born But no one wants to live life on their knees Maybe we start to die on the day that we're born But we deserve to live life in betweenA husband kissed the cross that bears his Margie's name And promises he'll see her once again Won't see her childen grow Won't see their love grow oldLast night their dream became a nightmare And their nightmare has no end Last night their dream became a nightmare And their nightmare has no endSome say we start to die on the day that we're born But no one wants to live life on their knees Maybe we start to die on the day that we're born But we deserve to live life in betweenThese days it's hard to sleep When I lay my head down What if it was your loved one Laying on the groundI'm left to think about What if, what now? Dear God I wanna pray But tonight I have my doubts When I think about those families nowIf there's something we can talk about, let's talk about it If there's something we can figure out, let's figure it out If there's something we can talk about, let's talk about it If there's something we can figure out, let's figure it outEl Paso, Texas Dayton, Ohio Las Vegas, Nevada Sebring, FloridaOrlando, Florida Penn State University Aurora, Illinois Virginia Beach, VirginiaGilroy, California Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Columbine Columbine Sandy Hook ElementarySome say we start to die on the day that we're born But no one wants to live life on their knees Maybe we start to die on the day that we're born You believe what you want to believe But we deserve to live life in betweenWord just came from upstate Joe Lower the flag again
