And your lives are more than what happened today
You can be the change so longtime coming
And your lives will not have been in vain
But your time was cut short
And through that tear-stained report they said
My thoughts and prayers are all I can offer
And condolences are surely proper
But it's just too soon, though it's been so many years
To tune in to your fears
So thoughts and prayers are all you're gonna hear
And I imagine that's the sound of thousand angels weeping above
Because it happens all too often despite all the love
Love for daughters and sons, husbands and wives
Time just ends and it'll always be that all the can send and tell you is
My thoughts and prayers are all I can offer
And condolences are surely proper
But it's just too soon, though it's been so many years
To tune in to your fears
So thoughts and prayers are all you're gonna hear
And your lives are more than what happened today
And there's a storm that's longtime coming
And with that thunderous storm comes that thunderous rain
And with voices as one right down to the core
There'll be no blood-stained report, and they can't say
My thoughts and prayers are all I can offer
And condolences are surely proper
But it's just too soon, though it's been so many years
To tune in to your fears
So thoughts and prayers are all you're gonna hear
