F.E.A.R.
Lying awake in the night
Holding onto my pillow
Another sleepless night
This gets dense
Can't help but think about the crazy gun violence
When did it become alright
To see a child holding a gun
The hills have sung, the war has just begun
Mass shootings every year
Every day people are living in fear
This needs to stop
This needs to end
Children are getting murdered
Honestly
What would you do
If you saw your child dead
Or sister, brother, or friend
Please make the violence end
