[00:10.75]Hey, tell me what’s goin’ on
[00:18.23]Another live’s been taken, another family’s shaken
[00:27.71]We’re out of control, seems like nobody cares
[00:36.42]Until you lost one of yours, or they lose one of theirs
[00:45.79]Our family and friends, they’re all leaving so fast
[00:54.52]As they pay with their lives full of mistakes, of the past
[01:03.94]The hatred, the murder, the killing, so violent
[01:08.27]Continues to increase as good men stay silent
[01:12.91]Kids can’t go to school without fear that someone,
[01:17.24]May be out of control; come to class with a gun
[01:25.97]We have let this go too far
[01:30.35]Now it’s time to take a stand
[01:34.85]We must help each other out
[01:39.18]Learn to help our fellow man
[01:43.69]There are people that we know
[01:48.19]That we know need a helping hand
[01:52.57]It is time to do our part
[01:57.17]To help heal our hurting land
[02:02.07]So here we now stand, our people are torn
[02:06.04]As fatherless children do constantly mourn
[02:10.80]The role model figure, that they never had
[02:15.45]How things would be different if they had a dad
[02:19.95]Our bloodthirsty culture, it fuels the fire
[02:24.03]As mass killing death tolls climb higher and higher
[02:28.78]How long till we wake up? Take back what we’ve lost
[02:33.32]The price of inaction has too great a cost
[02:37.77]There’s so many ways now that things can go wrong
[02:42.36]And so many people feel they don’t belong
[02:46.70]Our hearts have grown cold, and we curse above
[02:51.08]Yet it’s us that’s lacking ‘cause we lost our love
[02:55.55]Our love for each other, now sits on the shelf
[03:00.01]As most of us really only love ourselves
[03:04.47]If all of us are honest, we know we could do more
[03:09.01]To solve the problems that most of us ignore
[03:17.94]We have let this go too far
[03:22.29]Now it’s time to take a stand
[03:26.78]We must help each other out
[03:31.27]Learn to help our fellow man
[03:35.69]There are people that we know
[03:39.98]That we know need a helping hand
[03:44.39]It is time to do our part
[03:48.99]To help heal our hurting land
[03:56.92]It’s a hurting land, it’s a hurting land
[04:05.79]We’re a hurting land, we’re a hurting land
[04:12.94]That needs to change, that needs to change
[04:16.89]We have let this go too far
[04:21.23]Now it’s time to take a stand
[04:25.75]We must help each other out
[04:30.34]Learn to help our fellow man
[04:34.73]There are people that we know
[04:39.11]That we know need a helping hand
[04:43.70]It is time to do our part
[04:48.05]To help heal our hurting land
