Eve’s tears fell on Abel
King David wept for Absalom
Mother Mary was forsaken
And they laid her precious boy behind the stone

Mothers shouldn’t grieve their babies
Fathers shouldn’t mourn their sons
Lay their hope beneath the daisies
It’s not right for the old to bury their young
It’s not right for the old to bury their young

Folded flag up on the mantel
Limestone markers shining in the sun
Seventeen birthday candles
Never gonna burn for anyone

We’re gonna fix what you left broken
We’re gonna do, what you left undone
Thoughts and prayers are empty tokens
We are your daughters and your sons
