Newtown
There was a strange young man in a world of his own
And no one could see in
And his desperate mom reached out to her son
And shared with him her passion for guns
But the weapons they'd fire on the shooting range
Looked a lot like the weapons in his video games
And his twisted mind they were all the same
The day he blew his mom away
And the terror had begun
School bells ringing and children singing
Another day begins
'Now settle down class, it's time to be seated
And then we'll recite the Pledge of Allegiance'
When all of the sudden there's a POP, POP, POP
Glass is breaking and someone yells 'Stop'
And out of the office comes the strange young man
Leaving bodies on the floor
There's a killer on the run
And he fired his gun in a march down the hall
People screaming and running for help
And he burst in a classroom pointing and shooting
The last bullet for himself

Twenty young children were murdered that day
Twenty young families grieve
No more training wheels, pony rides
Or playing make believe
She was goofy spunky, full of energy
He would brighten any room
She was missing two front teeth
He had such a beaming smile
She was going someplace
They could never be replaced
Our daughters and our sons
And world was shocked when the news came in
When will these senseless killings end
As a little town gathers to bury their kin
A gun debate begins
There are some who say it's time to pray
And those who state 'It's a time to fight'
And others who claim inalienable rights
But I just don't see it that way
'Cause when all is said and done
We'd given him the gun
