lyrics

Wake up on a rainy morning
Pour some coffee, check the news
Another nightmare coming true
Flashing lights and frightened faces,
Mass confusion all around
Crying children huddled on the ground.

Then we’re told we could have stopped it if we had more guns
They twist the meaning of the constitution.
But their words can’t resurrect our daughters and our sons
They mock the fallen with their lame solutions.

We need more ... Yes we need more
than thoughts and prayers.
We need more ... So much more
than thoughts and prayers.
We need more .... than thoughts and prayers

The days pass by so quickly
Madness strikes us once again
There’s no action, just bluster and pretend
Politicians point their fingers
while the victims scream in pain
This world has truly gone insane

Yes the talking heads find glory in this endless war
Their hateful words spread out like foul pollution.
Let’s rise up with a voice so loud they can’t ignore
And turn our will into a revolution.

We need more ... Yes we need more
than thoughts and prayers.
We need more ... So much more
than thoughts and prayers.
We need more .... than thoughts and prayers
