Make It Stop (September's Children)

Woah, woah
 
 ♪
 Bang, bang go the coffin nails, like a breath exhaled
 Then gone forever
 It seems like just yesterday, how did I miss the red flags raised?
 Think back to the days we laughed
 We braved these bitter storms together
 Then brought to his knees he cried
 But on his feet he died
 What God would damn a heart?
 And what God drove us apart?
 What God could?
 Make it stop
 Let this end
 Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
 It's come to this
 A weightless step
 On the way down singing
 Woah, woah
 ♪
 Bang, bang from the closet walls
 The schoolhouse halls
 The shotgun's loaded
 Push me and I'll push back
 I'm done asking, I demand
 From a nation under God
 I feel its love like a cattle prod
 I'm born free, but still they hate
 I'm born me, no I can't change
 It's always darkest just before the dawn
 So stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong
 Make it stop
 Let this end
 Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
 It's come to this
 A weightless step
 On the way down singing
 Woah, woah
 The cold river washed him away
 But how could we forget?
 The gatherings hold candles, but not their tongues
 And too much blood has flown from the wrists
 Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss
 Who will rise to stop the blood?
 We're calling for
 Insisting on, a different beat, yeah
 A brand new song
 Whoa, whoa
 A brand new song
 (Whoa, whoa)
 (Whoa)
 Make it stop
 Let this end
 This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin
 And proud I stand of who I am
 I plan to go on living
 Make it stop
 Let this end
 All these years pushed to the ledge
 But proud I stand, of who I am
 I plan to go on living
