Ben S Dixon - Life Erased Lyrics

Not Okay, not okay, not okay
This is not okay

Cries that are silent
They scream from the womb
A haven of safety
But for many a tomb

A child abandoned, a life he'll never know
A babe forgotten, a life she'll never own

This is not okay
To take a life to fix your circumstance
This is life erased
To take the breath from the lungs of the helpless

This is not okay
For our rights to destroy another
A child suffocates
And we move on and say
This life is all about me
A child falls asleep
Its a crime, its murder
Life erased

It's not okay
It's not okay

Did you pack up your conscience
In a box to gather dust under your bed
You fail to see the selfishness
Inside your solution

This is not okay
To take a life to fix your circumstance
This is life erased
To take the breath from the lungs of the helpless

This is not okay
For our rights to destroy another
A child suffocates
And we move on and say
This life is all about me
A child falls asleep
It's a crime, its murder
Life erased

Its time to speak up
Their cries oh so quiet
Its time to take the
Stand and end this violence
Its time to breach the
Selfishness its blindness
It's time to be the
Voice for the silent

Life erased
I can't believe what's happening
Life erased
This is sickening
Life erased
Oh God forgive this nation
Life erased
Oh God please save these children

This is not okay
For our rights to destroy another
A child suffocates
And we move on and say
This life is all about me
A child falls asleep
It's a crime, its murder
Life erased

This is not okay
This is life erased
This is not okay
Its a crime, its murder, life erased
This is not okay
This is life erased
This is not okay
It's a crime, its murder, life erased
