about

I wrote this track to support the "March for our Lives" movement for better gun laws.

lyrics

We’re the leaders of today and the leaders of tomorrow
Tired of the deaths, funerals, and sorrow
We’re takin a stand so you understand
We’re marchin for our lives and the future of our land


Time to march for our lives time to march for our lives
We wised up on the NRA and politicians lies
We despise the compromise with our politicians
And a lobby meant to fill the streets with more ammunition
We ain’t askin permission now it’s time that you listen
To the ghosts of Parkland it’s for them that we’re livin
For the kids of Newtown who are shinin in heaven
For the kids of columbine who are no longer present
For the kids in every hood caught up in the crossfire
Innocent bystanders hit by rapid firer
For the kids at pulse who no longer have a pulse
Guns don’t kill people…we know that’s false
So Hey hey…NRA,
How many kids did you kill today?
How many young kids gotta make wills today?
How many coffins will we fill today?

We’re the leaders of today and the leaders of tomorrow
Tired of the deaths, funerals, and sorrow
We’re takin a stand so you understand
We’re marchin for our lives and the future of our land

Armin’ teachers? That just leads to more preachers
Providing eulogies for kids who will never reach a
Higher plateau these ideas gotta go
Will teachers need body cameras too? No
So we gonna keep walkin out we in control
You can suspend us from school but can’t suspend our soul
Give us detention but you can’t detain our role
In creating change startin with more gun control
you’ve been put on notice take this song and quote this
too many lost souls they’re the ones who wrote this
we’ll vote you out of office if you don’t switch focus
and that goes for all a y’all even you too POTUS
the future is in our hands so you best understand
it’s a united front gonna save this land
If the people lead we know the leaders will follow
Our march to the future for a better tomorrow

We’re the leaders of today leaders of tomorrow
Tired of the deaths, funerals, and sorrow
We’re takin a stand so you understand
We’re marchin for our lives and the future of our land
