|
Seven thousand miles from here |
|
Far away, yet so near |
|
Guns become a part |
|
Of a playground play |
|
Hold on tight to the tender gun |
|
Killing kids at Columbine, all rerun |
|
It happened only yesterday |
|
Haven't you heard the news? |
|
A killer is on the loose |
|
But we are here to stay |
|
We're not afraid |
|
If ever they needed proof |
|
Stand by me and tell them it will not be you |
|
Thanks for coming out tonight |
|
Showing up, not petrified |
|
Thanks for showing you have not yet taken fright |
|
Mild and meek the powers that bleed |
|
A sad belief, their self-deceit |
|
Vengeance comes to those that don't pray anyway |
|
Haven't you heard the news? |
|
A killer is on the loose |
|
But we are here to state we're not afraid |
|
If ever they needed proof |
|
Stand by me and tell them it will not be you |
|
And if you're bothered |
|
Don't you brother |
|
I rely on you and you can rely on me |
|
It's only the two of us eventually |
|
If ever we needed proof |
|
Stand by me and tell them it will not be you |
