[Verse 1]
I turn on the news today
Every channel says the same thing
A tragedy is taking lives
And innocents away

[Pre-Chorus]
And tell me it's a dream
There's no way this can be true
I can't believe what my eyes have seen
Can someone give me the truth?

[Chorus 1]
Oh, God, give us these
Answers that we desperately seek
If we are the ones you love
Why have we lost so much?

[Verse 2: Vince Lichlyter]
This world is so cold and cruel
How can we expect to make it through?
There are shootings in our schools
And evil has no rules

[Pre-Chorus: Vince Lichlyter]
[Chorus 2]
Oh, God, give us these
Answers that we desperately seek
If we are the you who love
Why have we all so lost?
We want more than the
Soothing of a politicians tongue
We can longer put our fear
In the hands of a man with a gun

[Bridge]
(We will rise, From the ashes we will rise.)
More than silver tongues
This tragedy's undone
This battle to be won
Justice for out sons

[Chorus 1]

[Outro]
(We will rise. From the ashes we will rise)
We have lost so much
We have lost too much
