Natasha Bedingfield - Hey Papa lyrics
[Natasha Bedingfield - Hey Papa lyrics]
Kids and guns starting out so young
We normalize and empathize and hold
Our hands over our eyes
The breaking news, when I wake into
Turn it on, turn it off
Pray to God one day it stops
What are we supposed to do
When everyone's afraid of changing?
How much do we have to lose?
Isn't all that we are worth saving?
So raise your hands and raise them high
Ooh yeah
Hold them up and hold your fight, oh yeah
Hey Papa, what's the news?
Doesn't anybody wanna hear the truth?
Hey Papa, it's not fair
Seems like people going down everywhere
Hey Papa, oh hey
And we try to survive, oh
We'll live or we'll die
And we wanna be free, but we wanna be right
When I don't understand
I get angry sometimes
And we all want a piece of American dream
Red, white, and blue, freedom and peace
I don't know what it means 'cause
It's far from our reach
If not for you, then all for love, ooh yeah
For everyone, forever loved, oh yeah
Hey Papa, I give up
I don't know if I'm strong enough
Hey Papa, are you still there?
I guess I'm getting just a little scared
Hey Papa, hey hey Papa, oh yeah
Hey Papa, hey hey Papa
Oh whoa oh oh, oh, oh
Mamas mourn the loss in this world
And children pay the cost to
Live in this world
Hey Papa, what's the news? (What's the news?)
Doesn't anybody wanna hear the truth?
Hey Papa, it's not fair
(It's not fair, it's not fair)
Seems like people going down everywhere
Hey Papa, I give up
I don't know if I'm strong enough (Oh)
Hey Papa, are you still there? (Oh)
I guess I'm getting just a little scared
(Oh, yeah)
Hey Papa, hey hey Papa, oh yeah
Hey Papa, hey oh, hey Papa
I'm not going down i'm not going down
We normalize and empathize and hold
Our hands over our eyes
The breaking news, when I wake into
Turn it on, turn it off
Pray to God one day it stops
What are we supposed to do
When everyone's afraid of changing?
How much do we have to lose?
Isn't all that we are worth saving?
So raise your hands and raise them high
Ooh yeah
Hold them up and hold your fight, oh yeah
Hey Papa, what's the news?
Doesn't anybody wanna hear the truth?
Hey Papa, it's not fair
Seems like people going down everywhere
Hey Papa, oh hey
And we try to survive, oh
We'll live or we'll die
And we wanna be free, but we wanna be right
When I don't understand
I get angry sometimes
And we all want a piece of American dream
Red, white, and blue, freedom and peace
I don't know what it means 'cause
It's far from our reach

Hey Papa, hey oh, hey Papa
I'm not going down i'm not going down
