There have been so many school shootings in just this school alone. Every a tragic event like this happens my choir sing a song called Prayer of the Children in the lobby of my school as a tribute. (The video I attached is my choir singing Prayer of the Children at out winter concert). Things in this country need to change and hopefully when we're all of age to vote we can help make bigger changes happen.

Prayer of the Children

Can you hear the prayer of children
On bended knee
In the shadow of an unknown room?
Empty eyes
With no more tears to cry
Turning heaven ward
Toward the light

Crying who will help me
To see the morning light of one more day?
But if I should die before I wake
I pray my soul to take

Can you feel the hearts of the children
Aching for home
For something of their very own?
Reaching hands
With nothing to hold on to
But hope for a better day
A better day

Crying who will help me
To feel the love again in my own land?
For when unknown roads
Lead away from home
Give me loving arms

Can you hear the prayer of the children
Softly pleading
For silence in their shattered world?
Angry guns
Preach a gospel full of hate
Blood of the innocent on their hands

Crying who will help me
To feel the sun again upon my face?
For when darkness clears
I know you're near
Bring peace again
