lyrics

"LET COMMON SENSE PREVAIL"
by Linda Sussman

As we hold the broken / lives shattered like glass 
Left to pick up the pieces / and pray we’re not next 
Pushing back on power / to do the right thing 
Walk on the side / of civility

Let us care / let us care for each other 
Let us move / let us move beyond fear 
Let us meet / in the halls of history 
Have courage, and let / common sense prevail

They say, “More will fix things / turn educators  to brass
 In the name of protection / from what’s coming next 
Just around the corner / in nearly every school 
They’re teaching guns are sacred / way more than  me and you

There’s no sense in the dollars / when it’s  children who fall 
We gotta come to the table / raise our hearts above all 
No amount of money / no thoughts, no prayers 
Can restore the safety / or stem the tears

Let us care / let us care for each other 
Let us move / let us move beyond fear 
Let us meet / in the halls of history 
Have courage, and let / common sense prevail

Let us care / let us care for each other 
Let us move / let us move beyond fear 
Let us meet / in the halls of history 
Have courage, and let / common sense prevail
Have courage, and let / common sense prevail
Have courage, and let / common sense prevail
