Any Town

By Bruce Clifford

Sandy Hook to San Bernardino
All the guns held to our heads
Charleston gone mad
Colorado Springs sad
All the guns held to our heads

Aurora, Oak Creek, Brookfield
Any town
Huntsville, Tucson, Manchester
The innocent are gunned down
In any town
In any town

It can happen without warning
Total strangers taken away
Families torn apart
While the children want to go outside to play

Chattanooga, Roseburg, it’s not fair
Look into their eyes to see the fear
In any town
In any town

These innocent souls in any town
Sandy Hook to San Bernardino
Coast to coast
