lirik lagu envy and the sloths - the angels went marching
[verse]
oh swift did the day turn to night
and how i was tucked into bed without a fight
how you cradled my head when i got home
while some parents arrived there alone
[verse]
did the devil send his soldier to k!ll
did that monster have a motive or was it simply for the thrill
how the many sighed a breath of relief
that it wasn’t them suffering grief
[chorus]
and the school let out early and the children all cheered
because the kids weren’t told simply not to cause fеar
but a different classroom not too far away
how the angеls went marching up to heaven that day
[verse]
well they’re building a playground at the beach
and the man on the tv is giving a speech
there will be an assembly at school
about how sometimes the world can be cruel
[verse]
how the h~ll were the kids supposed to know
that the country they live in has to hang their head low
does the second amendment still apply
if you’re worried that your children might die
[chorus]
and the citizens worried that the government comes
to relieve them of privilege and to steal their guns
but is freedom still freedom if we carry that weight
how the angels went marching up to heaven that day
[outro]
this land is your land
(they had their entire lives ahead of them)
this land is my land
(birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own)
from california to the new york island
(among the fallen were also teachers. men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.)
from the redwood forest
(i know there’s not a parent in america who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that i do. our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well.)
to the gulf stream waters
(their children’s innocence has been torn away from them too early. this evening, mich~lle and i will do what i know every parent in america will do, which is hug our children a little tighter and we’ll tell them that we love them)
this land was made for you and me
(the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their memories, but also in ours.)
“heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.”
