Who Are You?

Composer’s original recording:

Arrangement for piano and tenor voice (as shown above):

(This song is for politicians)

When the bullets they did fly
Taking all those many lives
Now tell me where were you?
Where were you?

For the second amendment rights
when so many children die
Now tell me where were you?
Where were you?

And you offer thoughts and prayers
But remember you weren’t there
To see the tears and fear
Yet you say how much you care

And you can change the rules
Keep war guns out of schools
But you say not today
And so the bullets spray

Can’t you hear those many cries?
At what point do all these lives
Finally touch your soul?
Bodies cold

And if no war machines
Now does that really mean
The right to arm yourself
Is put up on a shelf?

How many would be saved
If those bullets had not sprayed?
When driving by a school
Look at yourself
And ask
“Who are you?“
