[Verse 1] Backpack by the desk Shoes by the door Teacher says hush But we’re asking for more Keep your head low Keep your voice light I want lockers full of laughs Not fear in the light Names on the board Friends in the row I hate what we practice I hate what we know [Pre-Chorus] Lock the door, breathe slow Look at me Count to four Hold on Stay with me (Cildren sing)[Chorus] Not one more day Not one more kid Not one more name We can’t live like this Not one more day Not one more kid Safe in these halls That’s what this is [Verse 2] The bell still rings The lunch line moves But every loud bang Cuts through the room Moms in the drop-off Hands on the wheel Dads in the pickup line Trying not to feel We know the drills We know the fear But I want art on the walls And a future here [Pre-Chorus] Lock the door, breathe slow Look at me Count to four Hold on Stay with me (Children sing)[Chorus] Not one more day Not one more kid Not one more name We can’t live like this Not one more day Not one more kid Safe in these halls That’s what this is [Bridge] Let the kids be kids Let the chalk dust rise Let the morning start Without scanning eyes Send help, send care Send change today I’m tired of learning How to be afraid (Children sing)[Chorus] Not one more day Not one more kid Not one more name We can’t live like this Not one more day Not one more kid Safe in these halls That’s what this is
