Meanwhile, In Another Place

  • [1]Another gun goes off in the night A baby's last cry causes a fright This is happening to innocent people To get at one that's evil A mother searches for days and days To find her child, her amazing grace But the search is ended when a body is found A gunshot to the head, love the soldiers around [C]Gotta keep strong And say thanks every day We're in America, safe and sound Instead of Afghanistan, with guns all around Little to no worry every day, Our dreams are intact, not taken away Not taken away, No, never taken away [2]A hungry man once thought he'd known weak Until he'd lost support from his own two feet The tired old woman was almost finished with life's cup A nasty disease helped her bring it back up The scared child hiding in the corner Shivers in the darkness, wishing she was warmer She takes her last breath 'bout midnight The cold got her, she lost the fight [C] [3]A baby's born with a bad heart But with no hospital around, who will make it restart? Tears are shed as he's buried in the ground His little body covered, not making a sound The father who has tried with all his might Has decided to give up, no hope left in sight He tries to hide the tears as he's leaving his wife She cries as well, for he was her life [C] [B]Be glad that this doesn't happen to you There's no shots in the dark, No tragic loss But there's always a new Our country can be great, But it can be evil too When you add in all the things That people do [C] [Repeat V1]
