Waiting to Be Saved
Lost Lives, Found Questions: A Reflection on Society's Struggles
Lyrics
I heard about this story in the news today
I learned of a news story today.
About a man who lost his senses, lost his way
It's about a man who lost his senses and direction in life.
About a man who had his world taken away
This man had his world taken away from him.
He took his life but not before he made them pay
Before ending his life, he sought revenge.
So go on ask yourself the question
Reflect on whether you believe you're truly okay.
Are you convinced that you're OK?
Question your own sense of well-being.
Often times it makes me wonder
Sometimes I wonder about the safety of our world.
Are we not that safe?
Are we as safe as we think?
I heard a story about this woman yesterday
Another story, this time about a woman.
A twenty-seven year old teacher of fifth grade
She was a 27-year-old fifth-grade teacher.
A kid brought a gun to school and took her life away
A student brought a gun to school, resulting in her tragic death.
The politicians placed the blame and nothing changed
Politicians blamed but failed to bring about change.
And I feel it today
The impact of these stories affects me deeply.
It feels like nothing else, nothing else
It's a feeling unlike anything else.
I am waiting to be saved
I'm waiting to be saved, feeling helpless.
Helpless
An expression of vulnerability and powerlessness.
I feel it today
Today, I feel this strongly.
It feels like nothing else, nothing else
It's an overwhelming sensation.
I am waiting to be saved
Once again, waiting to be saved.
I heard a story from the media today
Another story from the media.
About a man who lost his senses, lost his way
Similar to the first, about a man losing his way.
About a woman who was taken yesterday
Also, a woman taken away recently.
About the children who may never see the light of day
Reference to the potential loss of future generations.
