Eyes Of Children Are Crying By Kristi Kirby

Heavy hearts tonight
Under the storms of
Texas stars
Deadliest nation
Eyes of children
Are crying
Dying in our
Schools
Where they should be safe
Learning about science
Talking with their teachers
Growing in knowledge
They had the right to
Dream
Now they are gone
She is on her
Speaker box
She looks at the birds of
Air
We have to care
Repair
She won’t let it
Go
When will we not need
An excuse
Now is the time
How many have to
Die
Will we stand
Do we need more blood
On our hands
Don’t give another reason
Change the minds
Change the policies
Change the gun
Laws
The call is now
We got this
Time
Fight gun violence
Now it must be
Clear
It isn’t fun to lose
Precious children
Lost
Gone forever
Never to be held
Tonight
Parents grieving
Thought they were safe today
We must achieve
Gun policy debates
That give us the
Need
We bleed for these
Children
In my Texas
Here we are now
Fight against the guns
Who have more rights
Than woman
Eyes are children
Are watching
They are crying
Dying
Their moment can’t be
Washed away
Their dreams are our
Responsibility
Teachers who
Shielded and died today
We must know their names
We must raise
Our speaker boxes
Let them know our names
Fight for this change
We are the deadliest nation
Wake up out there
We must light up these stars
That have died today
Gun policy.
