Lost

(Abc news report:)

New reports about the casualties in that shooting at the sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut. I want to go straight to abc's pierre thomas... state and federal sources that unfortunately, more than a dozen people have been shot and killed at that school and that number includes children...

And she had stayed in the conference room... the principal and other people got shot... when they went out into the hallway and she was the one who called 911...

And were there families there who don't know where their children are? yes, yes, there are still parents here who do not know where their children are.

I turned on the news today

Every channel says the same thing:

A tragedy has taken lives

And innocence away

And tell me it's a dream

There's no way this can be true

I can't believe what my eyes have seen

Someone give me the truth

Oh god, gives us these

Answers that we desperately seek

If we are the ones you love,

Why have we lost so much

(Us president: as a country we have been through this too many times)

This world is so cold and cruel

How can we expect to make it through

There are shootings in our schools

And evil has no rule

We want more than the

Soothings of a politician's tongue

We can no longer put our fear

In the hands of a man with a gun

(Us president: we're going to have come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics)

We will rise

From the ashes we will rise

We will rise

From the ashes we will rise

[Foreground lyrics]

(We want) more than silver tongues

(We want) it's tragedies undone

(We want) this battle to be won

(We want) justice for our sons

We will rise

From the ashes we will rise (we have lost so much)

We will rise

From the ashes we will rise (we have lost too much)
