No little steps in the middle of the night
And the nation's numb, is this what our forefathers had in mind?
What is happening in Washington?
'Cause it's not enough
Your thoughts and prayers
You send your love, you say you care
But you are not my baby
Oh but my heart has died
Standing alone in an empty room
Except for my child but she's not really there
And all the people have gone
And I want to pick her up and take her home
Can't bear to leave her here
It's not enough
Your thoughts and prayers
You send your love, you say you care
But you are not my baby
Oh bless the child
oh rest their souls
I bet those law makers don't know
This feeling that it's not enough
Your thoughts and prayers
You send your love, you say you care
But you are not my baby
Can you do something
So that there's not more gone babies

No hands to warm, no bedtime story, no lullaby No little steps in the middle of the night And the nation's numb, is this what our forefathers had in mind? What is happening in Washington? 'Cause it's not enough Your thoughts and prayers You send your love, you say you care But you are not my baby Oh but my heart has died Standing alone in an empty room Except for my child but she's not really there And all the people have gone And I want to pick her up and take her home Can't bear to leave her here It's not enough Your thoughts and prayers You send your love, you say you care But you are not my baby Oh bless the child oh rest their souls I bet those law makers don't know This feeling that it's not enough Your thoughts and prayers You send your love, you say you care But you are not my baby Can you do something So that there's not more gone babies 26, 58, 49, 14, 12, 27, 13, 32... 17 Explain Request ×
