Thoughts and Prayers

This song is about wildfire, the opioid epidemic, and school shootings. The lyrics dig into the tragedy felt by those involved in each scenario, and work as a call to action.

Did you see the fire breaking out on the hill?

Did you feel the smoke rise up inside of your eyes

choking out a cry for natures will?

Did you feel the ash fall down in your hair?

Panicked birds flying, neighbors out dying

all of your future up in the air?

Sending thoughts and prayers

Did you feel the sunshine enter your veins?

World starts fading, quiet outweighing

choice in your addicted brain?

Did you see the black spoon under the chair?

Did you feel rejection, pain recollection

lethal inject your medicare?

Sending thoughts and prayers, oh oh oh

Thoughts and prayers to you

Did you see the teachers get on the floor?

Under your desk with a social studies test

and your best friends crawling toward the door?

Did you see the bullet holes lining the stairs?

Deafened by sirens, moment of silence

first hand violent gun aware?

Sending thoughts and prayers, oh oh oh

Thoughts and prayers to you
