I heard about this story in the news today
About a man who lost his senses, lost his way
About a man who had his world taken away
He took his life but not before he made them pay

So go on ask yourself the question
Are you convinced that youre OK?
Often times it makes me wonder
Are we not that safe?

I heard a story about this woman yesterday
A twenty-seven year old teacher of fifth grade
A kid brought a gun to school and took her life away
The politicians placed the blame and nothing changed

And I feel it today
It feels like nothing else, nothing else
I am waiting to be saved
Helpless
I feel it today
It feels like nothing else, nothing else
I am waiting to be saved

I heard a story from the media today
About a man who lost his senses, lost his way
About a woman who was taken yesterday
About the children who may never see the light of day
