How Many More?

Lyrics

How Many More?

It's 3am in a hotel room on the other side of the world
News comes on, says another neighbor dead
I look up to the sky, pray dear God tell us why
a broken man can end a life with a hot piece of lead

How many more of the headlines, how many more of the graves
Must we count before all is said and done?
Anyone who is silent, anyone who turns away
Might as well have their hand on the gun
Yeah we might as well have our hands on the gun

It's another day in the modern world in the greatest country on earth
Hundreds of homicides and accidental deaths
None of those people know when the sun comes up and they go
About their lives that they’re coming up on their final breath

It’s another day in a Florida school when an AR-15 cuts loose
Seventeen dead, seventeen early graves
But the students who survived are fighting for their lives
Who knows how many people their bravery will save?

How many more of the children, how many more of their names?
Must we count before all is said and done?
Anyone who is silent, anyone who turns away
Might as well have their hands on the gun

If you're tired of the headlines, if you're tired of the graves
Lift your voice until something is done
We don't have to be silent, We don't have to turn away
We just have to stand strong til this battle's won
Yeah we have to stand strong til this battle's won
