Yeah…
How many angels is it gonna take
Before the world finally fucking breaks?
How many kids gotta lose their wings
Before heaven says, “Enough of these things”?
How many prayers gotta go unanswered,
How many tears before justice answers?
How many graves with innocent names
Before somebody’s held to the flames?
I’m looking at the sky like, “You see this shit?”
Another life gone, another white dress, another small casket.
Another mother screaming, another father numb,
Another story cut short before it even begun.
How many angels is it gonna take
Before the monsters finally get awake?
Before the systems stop protecting sin,
Before the wolves stop wearing human skin?
I’m tired of funerals, tired of goodbyes,
Tired of “God needed another one” lies.
What about the ones who needed them here?
What about the empty rooms, the untouched toys, the fear?
I talk to God like I’m mad and I mean it,
Like, “You made them pure, so why’d You let the world break them?”
Why let the cruel keep breathing free,
While the gentle get called home way too early?
How many angels is it gonna take
Before the earth stops being a battlefield?
Before children aren’t collateral damage,
Before innocence isn’t something we steal?
I know heaven is perfect, I know they’re at peace,
But down here the pain don’t fucking cease.
Down here we’re counting halos instead of birthdays,
Lighting candles instead of blowing them out in the worst way.
So I’m screaming into the dark, into the sky,
“How many more before You say ‘no more,’ why?”
How many wings gotta rise through the clouds
Before justice gets louder than the gunshots and shrouds?
Not one more baby.
Not one more child.
Not one more soul taken before they even got time.
How many angels is it gonna take
Before the world finally feels the weight
Of every life it crushed, every heart it broke,
Every prayer that came out as a desperate choke?
I believe in heaven.
I believe in God.
But I’m still angry at how much blood is on this world’s hands.
So I ask again, through tears and rage:
How many angels…
Is it gonna take?
