I heard about this story in the news today
  About a man who lost his senses, lost his way
  About a man who had his world taken away
  He took his life but not before he made them pay
  So go on ask yourself the question
  Are you convinced that you're OK?
  Often times it makes me wonder
  Are we not that safe?
    I heard a story about this woman yesterday
  A twenty-seven year old teacher of fifth grade
  A kid brought a gun to school and took her life away
  The politicians placed the blame and nothing changed
    And I feel it today
  It feels like nothing else, nothing else
  I am waiting to be saved
  Helpless
  I feel it today
  It feels like nothing else, nothing else
  I am waiting to be saved
    I heard a story from the media today
  About a man who lost his senses, lost his way
  About a woman who was taken yesterday
  About the children who may never see the light of day
