A Plea Lyrics

Kids run in fear

Hoping they're not near

Hiding with their tears

Praying they won't hear

And yet nothing changes

Everything's still the same

Heartbreak on tragedy

Desensitized to the pain

So get up

Make your stand

Break the sound of silence

Don't let them die in vain

People gunned down

For the color of their skin

Shot by a young white man

With an emptiness within

Objects of death

Every where

Bought by a man

Who was a kid last year

So get up

Make your stand

Break the sound of silence

Don't let it happen again

And still some say

"But we were promised this"

Full assault weapons

For it is written on the walls with blood

And it is clear

This must be won

The fight for our lives

Has just begun

And so we wonder

Who'll be next

Victims of an angry kid

Who comes bearing death

And death was bought

At their local convenience store

Down the street from their school

Across the road from their soul
