[verse]
Red sky morning, sirens cutting through
Chalk lines blurring where innocence once grew
[verse]
Backpacks dragging down the hallway floor
A lunchbox and a lock, we can’t ignore
Windows taped, doors that barely close
Another headline blooms, everybody knows
[pre-chorus]
Questions echo—how many more?
Prayers rise like smoke through a closing door
[chorus]
Let us lay our fears like roses on the ground
No more silence ringing, gunshots in our towns
Raise every voice till the steel has no throne
We want to see them come home
[verse]
Parents wide awake beneath a Texas moon
Counting every heartbeat, hoping morning’s soon
Crayons breaking under trembling hands
Classrooms are battlegrounds, can you understand?
[pre-chorus]
Promises broken line the street with tears
Each “never again” keeps falling on deaf ears
[chorus]
Let us lay our fears like roses on the ground
No more silence ringing, gunshots in our towns
Raise every voice till the steel has no throne
We want to see them come home
[bridge]
We will not be shadows walking hallways cold
Every shattered window will let the truth unfold
Draw hope in every margin, march through despair
The change we’re begging for—let it start here
[break]
Hands held tighter, candles burning through
This is our anthem—what will you do?Red sky fading, sirens growing still
We carry hope in backpacks—yes, we will
Until the morning comes, until the classroom’s safe
We mourn, we fight, we rise for their sake
