How Many Lives
(Verse 1)
My heart is aching, I feel the pain
Lives taken, children slain
Families crushed, wondering why
Their little boys and girls had to die
Beautiful eyes, I see them cry
Teachers tried hard to save their lives
Some tried to run but couldn’t get away
Lord help us heal from this awful day
(Hook)
How Many Lives? People trying to survive
Love cries, ‘How Many Lives?’
How Many Lives? Our children don’t have to die
I hear them cry, ‘How Many Lives?’
Though you are gone
We’ll hold on to your memory
(Verse 2)
Murder in the streets, we can’t get along
Too many guns, where did we go wrong
How many lives before we realize
To survive, we must stop the genocide
So much hate, unforgiveness and strife
What about love, the meaning of life
We must change how we treat each other
Let’s show love sisters and brothers
(Repeat Hook)
(Verse 3)
My God! Look at what we’ve lost
Got to start thinking and count the cost
Violent shows, movies, games and songs
Minds filled with murder, what’s going on?
Programmed to kill, we’re out of control
Let’s be real, gonna reap what we sow
America, America, in God we trust
To stop this violence, it’s going to take all of us
(Repeat Hook)
(Bridge)
The pain from the loss is so hard to bear
Many just walk on by, does anybody care?
How Many Lives do we have to lose?
Precious souls. What are we going to do?
(Vamp)
We need more love. Love. We need more love
