Sovereign Sounds - Where Do the Children Play Lyrics

Rise up it's time to take a stand
Shake up the views of the common man
World's on fire better clean your slate
You lose if you choose to negotiate

You've slept in silence far too long
Awake feel the heartbreak of the bad man's song
Columbine Parkland Sandy Hook Santa Fe
The cost of freedom the price we pay

We try to deny what we can't explain
Fallen pieces on the black squares in a dead man's game
Bullets flying young lives taken away
"Four more dead" newsman said
Where do the children play

Strangers lives linked by pain and strife
Helplessly hoping for a better life
Stained glass and stone won't save your mortal soul
Slap a band-aid on the cancer and you're good to go

We try to deny what we can't explain
Fallen pieces on the black squares in a dead man's game
Bullets flying young lives taken away
"Four more dead" newsman said
Where do the children play

Flesh and bone ain't the foe we fight
Satan's masquerading as a guiding light
Pray for the children why is this their fate
Run and hide from the madman standing at the gate

Tomorrow there's no sorrow far beyond the pain
We who must remain awake to tragedy again

We try to deny what we can't explain
Fallen pieces on the black squares in a dead man's game
Bullets flying young lives taken away
"Four more dead" newsman said
Where do the children play

Where do the children
Where do the children play
Where do the children
Where do the children play

Lord help them find their way
Take every tear away
So many lives at stake
Save them by your grace

Where do the children
Where do the children play
Where do the children
Where do the children play
