Your Child My Child

Your child, my child Your child, my child When I got the call from you It was a shot to my heart Feeling lost and confused Am I doin' my part? They say the reasons are complex Then they change the subject As you live with the effects We move on and we forget We move on and we forget What can I say? How can I make it better for you? I wish I could lay the answers at your feet Your child, my child Your pain, my pain I wanna say I'm sure that it will never happen again My child is your child My pain is your pain I know that things will change When enough of us will say Enough, enough, enough All this fear that it brings up We bolt our doors and windows shut And it paralyzеs us And we make it about us It is and isn't about us What will it take For us to bе safe and still be free? I wish I could lay the answers at your feet Your child, my child Your pain, my pain I wanna say I'm sure that it will never happen again My child is your child My pain is your pain I know that things will change When enough of us will say Enough, enough, enough (hey, oh) Enough, enough, enough When enough of us show up When enough of us cry out When enough of us say "no" When enough of us say "enough" When more of us get mad When each of us breaks down When all of us scream loud (no) When enough of us say Enough, enough, enough (oh, yeah, oh yeah) Enough, enough, enough (will change, will change, will change) When I got the call from you It was a shot to my heart Feeling lost and confused Am I doin' my part?
