Mama it's time for the fair
Mama why can't we go
Someone opened fire on innocents
And about it they weren't slow
Mama it's time for the concert
Mama why are you so afraid
There's risk just listening to music
Grimmie was shot on her own stage
Mama why's that good cop dead
He can't come back to his daughter
Now I'll never know my cousin
And that's another who's lost a father
Mama what's with the wealthy
They seem to have all the life hacks
They are people out there starving
And the rich barely pay tax
Mama look that man's gay
Hey that other one is black
People don't hesitate with violence
But it is love that they hold back
Mama I wanna learn history
I wanna know what people did before
Mama why is there so much blood
Why did people start so many wars
Mama will things ever change
Is there anything peaceful in store
There's a lot that is still the same
If anything people fight more
Mama why do these things happen
Mama why do so many people die
Mama why are people so cruel
It's enough to make me cry
Mama will we be ok
Are there enough of us to stand tall
People now fight fire with fire
And I fear it'll destroy us all
Mama why are people mad at God
They blame Him for human's sting
They ask why His own creations act this way
He probably wonders the same thing
Mama why can't we show compassion
Mama why are we in this state
Mama why can't we love
Mama why do we hate
