Take Me Home

Take me home, take me home to a place where I'm safe Where the walls don't seem to close Take me far, so far away to a place where I'm safe Anywhere outside my brain, take me home Shh, everyone quiet down, hide in the corner, get on the ground There's a shooter with a lot of rounds And he grew up a problem child, his parents went out of town Took the gun in his father's house, yeah, I hear the sirens howl But the police are not around, no, they're waiting outside How many will now die and really we all know That it won't be the last time, this is America now It's terrible how, we will allow, a parent to bury a child Time and again, it's like a Merry-Go-Round Another mass shooting on the News We'll forget about 'em soon every last student But I represent the kids in the classroom Growing up, no, never had the chance to it I'm the person you left, hiding under her desk When it's certainty death, had her path ruined While the politicians are a sad excuse Someone save the kids, from these bad humans Take me home, take me home to a place where I'm safe Where the walls don't seem to close Take me far, so far away to a place where I'm safe Anywhere outside my brain, take me home Dear God, it's me again, as I come to you for one last time I know we don't talk much So, I don't expect you to grant my one request Though, I confess, it's hard for me to not ask why Why we losing so many kids? If you exist, show me a sign I wanna believe you without a doubt But I feel like they've been forgot about Where were you when they were screaming out And where were you when they were bleeding out Will you take them there, far away from this place, they're scared Hiding in this classroom so long That it feels like the walls don't hold no air 'Cause time's up, kids start running They dive, duck, and go find cover While the suits and ties up in Washington Get their blood money and then hide from us Fake tears, man, I call bluffing We got kids dying, but don't do nothing 'Cause to them the dead are just another number Man, I hate to say another shooting's coming, but it is Take me home, take me home to a place where I'm safe Where the walls don't seem to close Take me far, so far away to a place where I'm safe Anywhere outside my brain, take me home
