lyrics
Shooting Waste
Stepped away from the water's edge
Though darkness surrounded me, I heard no siren call
Cleared my head and reminded myself
Without your Word, I wouldn't be here at all
Though everyone is turning everything inside out
It's way beyond a doubt, they don't need to see me fall
With every whisper, with every scream and shout
My safety net is torn, my back's against the wall
Idle eyes can't see you build your faith
Don't knock them over
Don't lead it to an empty place
Don't idolise, build up your faith
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't leave an empty space
Have you heard about the news today
There was another killing, another shooting waste
When you step back to see the error of your ways
The part you played, the lives you could've saved
Have you even read the news today
Yet another killing, another shooting waste
If you'd only step back see the error of your ways
The part you played, the lives you could've saved
Climbed on up to the higher ground
Though echoes come and go, there was nowhere to fall
With open hearts, we couldn't bear to hear the sound
The separated children, the terror of it all
Stepped away from the water's edge
Though darkness surrounded me, I heard no siren call
Cleared my head and reminded myself
Without your Word, I wouldn't be here at all
Though everyone is turning everything inside out
It's way beyond a doubt, they don't need to see me fall
With every whisper, with every scream and shout
My safety net is torn, my back's against the wall
Idle eyes can't see you build your faith
Don't knock them over
Don't lead it to an empty place
Don't idolise, build up your faith
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't leave an empty space
Have you heard about the news today
There was another killing, another shooting waste
When you step back to see the error of your ways
The part you played, the lives you could've saved
Have you even read the news today
Yet another killing, another shooting waste
If you'd only step back see the error of your ways
The part you played, the lives you could've saved
Climbed on up to the higher ground
Though echoes come and go, there was nowhere to fall
With open hearts, we couldn't bear to hear the sound
The separated children, the terror of it all
