A morning's word
by wordsy Author IconMail Icon

Another mothers son
picks up a gun
and a life of crime begins

With a click and a boom
and all too soon
another life comes to an end

Now it's a game
where there's no shame
to shoot a man when he's down

When all you got to figure
is how to a trigger
and listen to the roaring sound

Mother where's your children
when the bullets start to fly
Mother will your children
be the next to die

Now everybody sings a sad song
about how their life's unfair
you never got a break
so all you do is take
and let everybody else beware

Mother where's your children
when you lay me down to sleep
Mother where's your children
when you pray your soul to keep

Well another night is passing
and the day is coming on
where will they be tomorrow
to see the rising sun

Mother where's your children
can you hear them as they cry
Mother where's your children
or do you still deny

That all the world is crying
and our tears they fall in vain
about all the children dying
in a world that's gone insane



as always,
wordsy.
