Thoughts and Prayers

[Verse 1]
Open your eyes and see
This isn't the world you promised it'd be
Innocence takes a defeat
Becomes reality tv
There's blood on the street
Like the blood on your hands when you lie to the family
Who just lost their son
At the hands of a gun

[Chorus]
Thoughts and prayers
Packing on punchlines to pain
When it seems like no-one cares
And the big man upstairs
Just must not be hearing your
Thoughts and prayers

[Verse 2]
Children are living in fear
Fear becomes normalcy, year after year
Who is this God that you pray to?
Who'd allow such destruction
Or are you so afraid to
Look at the life in a young girl's eyes
It was here just a minute ago, no

[Chorus]
Thoughts and prayers
Packing on punchlines to pain
When it seems like no-one cares
And the big man upstairs
Just must not be hearing your
Thoughts and prayers

[Verse 3]
You shouldn't have to go through something
Just ask that you do something
And start making sense of this
Stop faking sense of this
With your thoughts and prayers

[Outro]
Thoughts and prayers
