Due

Inspired by the Sandy Hook shooting

Hush now baby, don't say a word

I know that you're scared and want to go home

It's due time for your tears to all stop

But you're locked in a closet and you can hear the gun shots

I can tell you that it'll all be okay; 

It'll be a lie but they'll remember your name

And moments from now your fear will go away
