Who is this child we bury today?
Only one of our daughters and sons
Will the killing end here?
Or must we all live in fear
That the horror has only begun

What can we do, to undo what we’ve done
By showing our children the point of a gun?
Can together we stand
And bring peace to this land?
Make it safe for our daughters and sons?

Our daughters and sons
Daughters and sons
We show them hatred and guns
Our own daughters and sons
If we could only undo
All the damage we’ve done
To our daughters and sons

We must lay down our arms
Lift our children above
All the madness in life
We must teach them to love
Let the message go out
All across this great land
That united we’re gonna stand 

Who is to blame for what we’ve become?
Where did the anger and hate all come from?
If we place in harm’s way
Those we love every day
Then for certain we know what will come
