Another Tragedy
Verse 1
Another tragedy, what do we expect?
The world has lost its way
We can't cope, we just medicate
Trying to numb the pain away
Families broken, people in dismay
We promote confusion every day
Say there's no truth, no right or wrong
Then wonder why so many are led astray
We took God out of everything
Now we're shocked by all the pain
Instead of love, the world's filled with hate
As everybody chases their own way
Pre-Chorus
And every headline feels the same
Another life gone in the rain
We shake our heads and ask why
While the deeper wounds remain inside
Chorus
I say no more
I'm tired of the tragedies
No more
I'm tired of the deaths we see
Will it stop?
I think not
If nothing in this world is changing
We're searching everywhere for answers
But we're missing what we're facin
Verse 2
What message does this send to our kids?
Will they ever feel like they fit in?
Counterfeit standards they'll never achieve
Fighting battles deep within
Tension rises day after day
One step closer to the edge
Looking for purpose, looking for hope
Standing on a broken ledge
What's the trigger that sets them off?
Fuses getting shorter, gonna pop off
Once it's done there's no turning back
The soul goes dark, another one lost
Pre-Chorus
We can't explain, we don't understand
So we point at things within our hands
But tools alone can't heal the hurt
That's buried deep inside a man
Chorus
I say no more
I'm tired of the tragedies
No more
I'm tired of the deaths we see
Will it stop?
I think not
If nothing in this world is changing
We're searching everywhere for answers
But we're missing what we're facing
Bridge
The rest of us are left behind
Overwhelmed with grief and sadness
Asking questions through the tears
Trying to make sense of madness
People say we need justice
But it's deeper than that
That's treating symptoms on the surface
Not the darkness that attacks
We need healing that restores our souls
Bringing peace to a hurting world
Love that reaches broken hearts
Before another life unfurls
Breakdown
It is so sad to see what we see
People asking, "Will it happen to me?"
Parents praying as they hold their kids
Wondering what tomorrow will bring
As I lay my head down to sleep
I pray for comfort and lasting peace
Lord, help us see what's underneath
And heal the wounds that run so deep
Final Chorus
I say no more
I'm tired of the tragedies
No more
I'm tired of the deaths we see
Out of the darkness
We'll find our way
Out of the darkness
We'll find our way
Maybe together we'll push back
Take the targets off our backs
And find the hope we've lost today
Outro
Another tragedy...
What do we expect?
But hope remains
And love remains
If we'll choose
