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
