Lyrics Missy Higgins

Missy Higgins

49 Candles

Another one down

Another life lost

Another night freedom comes at a cost

Another big story

Another headline

Another excuse for spinning more lies

But our voices, where do they go?

Calling out but nothing follows

All our voices, where do they go?

Where do they go?

Our 49 candles burn

In Orlando

In Orlando

Another new bullet

Another gunfire

Another mother is told her son has died

Another wall built

Another point made

Another excuse for living this way

And our voices, where do they go?

We're shouting loud but the sound is swallowed

All our voices, where do they go?

Where do they go?

Our 49 candles burn

49 candles burn

Our 49 candles burn

In Orlando

In Orlando

What's it gonna take, take, take?

What's it gonna take, take, take?

What's it gonna take, take, take?

(What's it gonna take?)

Our 49 candles burn

You're never the same as you once were

Our 49 candles burn

In Orlando

In Orlando

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

49 candles burn

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

And 49 souls will not return

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

Our 49 candles burn

In Orlando

In Orlando

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

49 candles burn

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

49 candles burn

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

Our 49 candles burn

In Orlando

In Orlando

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

49 candles burn

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

49 candles burn

(What's it gonna take, take, take?)

49 candles burn

In Orlando

In Orlando
