Another one down
Another life lost
Another night freedom comes at a cost
Another big story
Another headline
Another excuse for spinning more lies
But our voices, where do they go?
Calling out but nothing follows
All our voices, where do they go?
Where do they go?
Our 49 candles burn
In Orlando
In Orlando
Another new bullet
Another gunfire
Another mother is told her son has died
Another wall built
Another point made
Another excuse for living this way
And our voices, where do they go?
We're shouting loud but the sound is swallowed
All our voices, where do they go?
Where do they go?
Our 49 candles burn
49 candles burn
Our 49 candles burn
In Orlando
In Orlando
What's it gonna take, take, take?
What's it gonna take, take, take?
What's it gonna take, take, take?
(What's it gonna take?)
Our 49 candles burn
You're never the same as you once were
Our 49 candles burn
In Orlando
In Orlando
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
49 candles burn
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
And 49 souls will not return
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
Our 49 candles burn
In Orlando
In Orlando
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
49 candles burn
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
49 candles burn
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
Our 49 candles burn
In Orlando
In Orlando
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
49 candles burn
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
49 candles burn
(What's it gonna take, take, take?)
49 candles burn
In Orlando
In Orlando
