KejaR - Tomorrow Can Only Cry

Childhoods lost in a blaze as the bullets fly
In grade school halls, the machine automatic took life from their innocent eyes
Don't look for blame
Pointing fingers won't bring them back
More of the same will keep happening here and that's blood on our hands if we don't do all we can

They're gone
I'll never make sense of that I can't believe
They're gone
It all went down so fast
In nightmares and dreams I hold on to our time together
My heart feels broken and torn apart
If today lets the innocent die, then tomorrow can only cry

It was a gun, but hatred pulled the trigger
And now it's done, and the guilt and the questions grow bigger and bigger and bigger
I wonder why we keep building up castles of sand
And still deny what we all know for certain is true
The picture is black and we've stolen and scattered their crayons

They're gone
I'll never make sense of that I can't believe
They're gone
It all went down so fast
In nightmares and dreams I hold on to our time together
My heart feels broken and torn apart
If today lets the innocent die, then tomorrow can only cry

We woke late did breakfast, ate it
Raced out to the school bus, made it
Same old, same old every day, but this today was not the same
I went home to take a call before I could I heard it all
On TV kids were shot and falling to a shooter with no name
Nobody, no way, no hope is left today
How can I ever understand this searing pain that rips my soul away
They're not coming home

They're gone
I'll never make sense of that I can't believe
They're gone
It all went down so fast
In nightmares and dreams I hold on to our time together
My heart feels broken and torn apart
If today lets the innocent die, then tomorrow can only cry

Make something happen here we've had our fill of tears
What will it take for you to stand and fight it
The suffering's growing large it tells us who we are
Enough's enough, what will you do to right it
The world can see that we're under siege and that there must be something we can do now
It isn't fair, there's an empty chair in our home, and there's white crosses on the school ground

It's not too late for prayer, have faith
It's hard but turn your heart from hate
The only way to face this pain is love
Love for those who still remain
Love for those we've lost today
Hate won't bring them back again choose love
Hold on to love

I feel the pain so deep inside
I never thought I'd have your eulogy to write
I miss your laughter and the sound of your voice
I weep in sorrow as I kneel before the alter of your toys
No hope, no joy

Change the laws there's a way to get through it
Come across the lines and just do it cause it's time
It's your job, this is not an election
Don't let them rob any others protect them it's their right
What rights are right
What is right

They're gone
I'll never make sense of that I can't believe
They're gone
It all went down so fast
In nightmares and dreams I hold on to our time together
My heart feels broken and torn apart
If today lets the innocent die, then tomorrow can only cry
Tomorrow can only cry
