Bon Jovi - Lower the Flag lyrics
[Bon Jovi - Lower the Flag lyrics]
Word just came from upstate, Joe
Lower the flag again
This time, it's Dayton, southwest Ohio
Last night, El Paso, Texas counted 22 dead
Soon, the brass will offer up
Their thoughts and prayers
Soon, there'll be protests in the street
And the media from out of town will
Chew it up and spit it out
And move on to the next
One before we even grieve
Yeah, they'll move on to the next
One before we even grieve
Some say we start to die on
The day that we're born
But no one wants to live life on their knees
Maybe we start to die on
The day that we're born
But we deserve to live life in between
A husband kissed the cross that
Bears his Margie's name
And promises he'll see her once again
Won't see her children grow
Won't see their love grow old last night
Their dream became a nightmare and
Their nightmare has no end last night
Their dream became a nightmare and
Their nightmare has no end
Some say we start to die on
The day that we're born
But no one wants to live life on their knees
Maybe we start to die on
The day that we're born
But we deserve to live life in between
These days
It's hard to sleep when I lay my head down
What if it was your loved
One layin' on the ground?
I'm left to think about, "What if, what now?"
Dear God, I wanna pray, but tonight
I have my doubts
When I think about those families now
If there's somethin' we can talk about
Let's talk about it
If there's somethin' we can figure out
Let's figure it out
If there's somethin' we can talk about
Let's talk about it
If there's somethin' we can figure out
Let's figure it out

Some say we start to die on
The day that we're born
But no one wants to live life on their knees
Maybe we start to die on
The day that we're born
You believe what you want to believe
But we deserve to live life in between
Word just came from upstate, Joe
Lower the flag again
Lower the flag again

Last night, El Paso, Texas counted 22 dead

But we deserve to live life in between

And promises he'll see her once again
Won't see her children grow
Won't see their love grow old last night

Their dream became a nightmare and
Their nightmare has no end
