Mordecai Fayas - Gone Way Too Soon Lyrics

We already have too many things
That take our children away
So why do we need to add
A mass shooting every other day

We already have too many times
Tears are streaming down our face
So why do we need to add
My child gunned down in any grade

We only wanted to love them
We only wanted to hug them
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be
A brother a mother a father a sister a friend
A daughter a son a lover a child a cousin

And now they're goooooone way too soon

We already have too many souls
That are lost to us each and every day
But why must so many be
Far too young and underage

We only wanted to love them
We only wanted to hug them
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be
We only wanted to be
A brother a mother a father a sister a friend
A daughter a son a lover a child a cousin

Now they're goooooone way too soon
Oh no mamma, oh my no no no
They're goooooone way too soon
They're just babies I tell you so
They're goooooone way too soon
Those nightmare sticks a shooting fire
They're goooooone way too soon
Removing all my life's desire
They're goooooone way too soon
Oh give me back my heirs
They're goooooone way too soon
Leaving me this empty, I'm so scared
They're goooooone way too soon
And now you watch from up there
They're goooooone way too soon

They're gooooone way too soon
