• 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"
