Thoughts & Prayers Lyrics by Josh O’Keefe

Bloomin

0

Nikolas Cruz murdered seventeen people
With an army-grade rifle that was perfectly legal
At a Florida school in a freshman building
A cold, dead hand 'round the gun he was wielding
So keep your thoughts and prayers, my friend


The whole, wide world is watching you
So keep your thoughts and prayers, my friend
Keep your thoughts and prayers


Nikolas Cruz was a red-flagged student
In the language of weapons, he was dangerously fluent
Tipped to authorities, placed on their watch list
Fathers and Mothers are still burying their kids


So keep your thoughts and prayers, my friend
The whole, wide world is watching you
So keep your thoughts and prayers, my friend
Keep your thoughts and prayers


Stoneman Douglas went to school one morning
With a kiss goodbye and no sign or warning
In the classrooms and hallways their bodies laid slain
They never came back from school again


So keep your thoughts and prayers, my friend
The whole, wide world is watching you
So keep your thoughts and prayers, my friend
Keep your thoughts and prayers


At nineteen years and not of age for a beer
Cruz entered a strip mall with nothing to fear
With a background record shown to be clean
Straight from the clerk an AR-15


So keep your thoughts and prayers, my friend
The whole, wide world is watching you
So keep your thoughts and prayers, my friend
Keep your thoughts and prayers


High-office politician dances around questions
To keep his Senate seat and his gilded mansions
Preaches to the choir of our Founding Fathers
But turns a blind eye to our sons and daughters


Now you need your thoughts and prayers, my friend
The whole, wide world is watching you
Now you need your thoughts and prayers, my friend
You need your thoughts and prayers
