How Many More - Heather Maloney

A, A is for allegiance

It’s what you pledge every morning to the flag

And B, B is for bravery

In the home of the brave, it’s what you gotta be

Because C, C is for children

Hiding in the cabinets, the trenches of their classroom

And D, D is for drill

And this is not a drill, this is not a drill

And how many more, how many more

How many babies in the ground, how many friends

How many more, how many more

How many more till we say never again

And E, E is for everyone

Everyone lost, every single one

And F, F is for freedom

And are they all free now, are we free

And how many more, how many more

How many babies in the ground, how many friends

How many more, how many more

How many more till we say never again

There’s a teacher showing how to shield

A weapon made for battlefields

There’s a trigger, and anyone can pull it

There’s a look inside a child’s eyes

When they don’t trust the world outside

And their innocence flies from them like a bullet

There is a country where some people say that

That is just the price you pay for freedom

But I am calling bullshit

How many more, how many more

How many babies in the ground, how many friends

How many more till we say never again

How many more till we say never again

How many more till we say never again
