Seeing so many lives cut short and the impact of those people no longer being here.

The Ones Who Didn't Stay

Sits alone in his room again
an angry and lonely soul
His parents are too busy
trying to make him a loving home
With a gun he ends his pain
as the sky turns into rain
His family is gone astray
they cope with the hurt in vain
The ones who didn't stay
now their future has gone away
I wonder, I wonder
Mother holds a photograph
of a sweltering desert plain
The bullet that took her son
makes her heart cry out in pain
The war was miles away
as the sky turned into rain
Now her family has gone astray
They hope with the hurt and the pain
The ones that didn't stay
how their lives have gone away
I wonder, I wonder
What would this world be like
if the ones that didn't stay
they were here, today
Maybe they would be Einstein
Or the ones that found the cure
Maybe they would hold your hand
When you're feeling so insecure
The ones who didn't stay
Now their lives have gone away
I wonder, I wonder
what would this world be like
if the ones that didn't stay
they were here, today
What would (what would)
this world be like ( be like)
If the ones that didn't stay
were here today
