- Transcription is exactly "There’s a lone wailing in Virginia</br>
Where a nation’s hearts beat as one</br>
For the day in Blacksburg, Virginia</br>
Where one man took so many with a gun</br>
</br>
It’s a quiet, friendly place, Blacksburg, Virginia</br>
Where the mountains and the rivers all run free</br>
But it only takes one man with access to gun</br>
And a hatred for all humanity</br>
</br>
How does a hollow heart get wounded</br>
How can we recognize the signs</br>
When the worlds all connected now</br>
So many wires tying up the lines</br>
Can’t we bring ourselves to go and stop a crime</br>
</br>
Why do so many have to die before we do</br>
What we should have done before</br>
Why do so many have to cry before we see the writing on the wall</br>
</br>
Our nation learns a lesson about dying</br>
When it happens on its own, Cherry told me</br>
Now on some fallen shore</br>
We’re in someone else’s war</br>
But crying for its own young's destiny</br>
</br>
Why do so many have to die before we do</br>
What we should have done before</br>
Why do so many have to cry before we see the writing on the wall</br>
</br>
They say the right to bear arms is important</br>
To protect yourself from others bearing arms</br>
But the ones who say this aren’t yet broken</br>
By seeing their loved ones made into pawns</br>
</br>
Don’t they know about that love</br>
That the loss of them diminishes us all</br>
Don’t they see or are their hearts empty</br>
There's enough death around without their war</br>
</br>
America, America please listen</br>
Your children embrace you in the sun</br>
The hopes of generations lie hanging by a thread</br>
At the mercy of anyone with a gun</br>
Don’t let them kill your children one by one</br>
No mercy, no mercy for the gun</br>
</br>
There’s a lone wailing in Virginia</br>
Where a nation's hearts beat as one</br>
For the day in Blacksburg, Virginia</br>
Where one man took so many with a gun</br>
Don’t let them kill your children one by one</br>
No mercy, no mercy for the gun"
