This is a clarion call to everyone, and was inspired by the amazing fight in the kids of the #NeverAgain movement, most of whom are from my area in Coral Springs/Parkland. Be a part of the solution and stand with them!
In the middle of this song, I say the names and ages of just some of the victims of school shootings throughout the years, because we need to remember THEIR names and not the shooters. I am dedicating this song to their memory.

lyrics
Lyrics:
The blood-stained halls of education are once again under attack
By lobbyists and gun fetishists nourishing their souls of black
They say to toe the line, while still more children die
They hide behind the guise of serving the law
Is the life of a child worth more than your right to a gun?
Then say it loud and clear, once and for all
WE CAN DO MORE
For the lives we lost,
WE CAN DO MORE
With fire in our hearts,
WE CAN DO MORE
WE CAN DO MORE
Get away from the middle ground, fight back and take a stand
March for their lives before the hourglass runs out of sand
The point of no return Is a place we will have earned
If we refuse to learn, refuse to hear the call
See the perspective of the front of the barell of the gun
Know and respect it, no more time to stall
WE CAN DO MORE
For the lives we lost,
WE CAN DO MORE
With fire in our hearts,
WE CAN DO MORE
WE CAN DO MORE
Nobody has to die — THIS ENDS TODAY
We cannot save tomorrow if we will not start today
Step out of your politics, and find a way
Remember their names! No, the time is not too late!
To say “NEVER AGAIN”
