When a solitary man
Wielding an automatic
Can turn a playful classroom
Into a place of doom
Or
A church full of grace
Into a deadly, bloody place
Or
That paradise for shoppers
The common shopping mall
Into a bloodbath for all
It’s clearly time for a change
No ifs or buts or wait and see
Action must be taken now
The question, of course, is how
Let love replace the screams of hate
It’s not too late
Let hope replace the scenes of fear
listen to the voice of reason you hear
Toss all your weapons away
Reach out to a warm and sunny day
Know that even a wild heart can be tamed
Join hands everyone
Let’s make America safe again!
