Hey Papa (Acoustic)

[Verse 1] Kids and guns starting out so young We normalize and empathize and hold our hands over our eyes The breaking news, we're not waking to Turn it on, turn it off, pray to God one day it stops What are we supposed to do? When everyone's afraid of changing? How much do we have to lose? Isn't all that we are worth saving? [Pre-Chorus] So raise your hands and raise them high, oh, yeah, yeah Hold them up and hold your fire, oh, yeah [Chorus] Hey Papa, what's the news? Doesn't anybody wanna hear the truth? Hey Papa, it's not fair Seems like people going down everywhere Hey Papa, oh, hey [Verse 2] And we try to survive, and we'll live or we'll die And we wanna be free, but we wanna be right When I don't understand, I get angry sometimes And we all want a piece of American Dream Red, white, and blue, freedom and peace I don't know what it means 'cause it's far from our reach [Pre-Chorus] If not for you, then all for love, oh, yeah, yeah For everyone, forever love, oh, yeah [Chorus] Hey Papa, I give up I don't know if I'm strong enough Hey Papa, are you still there? I guess I'm getting just a little scared Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa, oh yeah Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa [Bridge] Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Mamas mourn the loss in this world And children pay the cost to live in this world, oh [Chorus] Hey Papa, what's the news? Doesn't anybody wanna hear the truth? Hey Papa, it's not fair It seems like people going down everywhere Hey Papa, I give up I don't know if I'm strong enough, oh Hey Papa, are you still there? (Woah) Guess I'm getting just a little scared (Oh) Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa, oh yeah Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa [Outro] Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh
