And Lawrence King never saw 9th grade

Before that bullet was forced into his brain
     Am       Em
By a bully, a madman
   Cadd4       C
A classmate of rage
        Am        Em
Just at 15, young Larry

Was sent to his grave

Our friend Tyler was forced off of a bridge
C         Cadd2     Cadd4            C
After his roommates filmed and outed him
        Am     Em
Making love to another
    Cadd4       C
The same sex as him
        Am            Em
And the only sin that God saw
        Cadd4     G       C
Was the roommates killing him

Poor old Jamey always smiled and thrived
C          Cadd2              Cadd4        C
But as the slurs went on, he couldn’t stay alive
       Am           Em
And he took his own life
     Cadd4          C
On a cold september night
        Am       Em
And the bullies admitted
          Cadd4          G
That they wanted him to die

Can we join together and learn not to hate?

And we join together in the arms of faith
C CM9/B Am  Em       Cadd2      G     C
Can we join together and be one human race

And did you think about how his mama would cry?

When she was forced with goodbye?

Did you think about his papa when he died?
Am        Em  G
How will they survive?
