Shake the grip of the factions
Prove you have true worth
Take prompt and proper actions
If need be, move heaven and earth!
There is profit no denying
It threatens real pain
So, find the guts for defying
Those fixated on political power and gain
Fight for their lives
Though it may cost you money
Fight for their lives
Make children safer and our future sunny!
It’s time for steel in the spine,
Look fate straight in the face
Don't pretend everything is just fine
Give voice to justice; put fear in its place
Come on hard and with purpose
Fix your mind on a victorious end
Bring a halt to this circus, and
Make gun death numbers finally descend!

Every day, guns kill 7 American children; since 2012, 1,500 school shootings have taken place.
Criticizing the Parkland students as entitled is irrelevant. Their message is compelling, timely and long overdue. They are raising their voices and asking all of us to join them. And we should.
