Silencing the Innocent

Blood on every corner our youths are dying
I hear the innocent crying 
When will the blood stop running 
When will the guns stop coming
We need some change in the system
Exhausted from going to funerals and seeing mothers crying, no hope in their eyes 

We need to stop the guns that's the only way to stop the blood from flowing 

There is a raging war against our children
Every year the same cry ...stop killing our future, stop killing our children
The system doesn’t care because they are a part of the problem 
When will it end ...who will save our children
