Stolen Innocence

[Verso 1] Am F There was a time I thought the truth would shake this nation C G That exposing darkness would ignite some righteous fire Am F But the ones with power built themselves a new foundation C G Deep in shadows where the innocent are bought and hired [Pré-Refrão] F G We called it unthinkable, we called it rare Am Em Now we see the dirty fingerprints of people everywhere [Refrão] C G These are children - not commodities, not toys Am F Every daughter has a name, every girl has a voice C G Every boy deserves a future, not a life in chains Am F The law must hold the guilty, every last one bears the blame C G Stolen innocence, stolen innocence Am F We will not look away [Verso 2] Am F You stand at your podiums and preach about the unborn C G You wave your banners and you call yourself devout Am F But when the powerful protect each other in the morning C G Your silence is a statement - what you stand for is in doubt [Pré-Refrão] F G You can't claim the children before they take a breath Am Em Then abandon them to monsters after they've been blessed [Refrão] C G These are children - not commodities, not toys Am F Every daughter has a name, every girl has a voice C G Every boy deserves a future, not a life in chains Am F The law must hold the guilty - every last one bears the blame C G Stolen innocence, stolen innocence Am F We will not look away Interlude C G Am F [Ponte] Am This is not a left or right wing thing G It's wrong! A just not right thing! F G This is every child crying Somewhere alone tonight Am Rich men in a dark room G Believe they're above the law F G But we are watching, we are counting, every single one will fall [Refrão] C G These are children - not commodities, not toys Am F Every daughter has a name, every girl has a voice C G Every boy deserves a future, not a life in chains Am F Accountability is coming - every last one bears the blame C G Stolen innocence, stolen innocence Am F We will not look away Am F We will not look away
