An original song I wrote for the victims and heroes of Sandy Hook Elementary School and performed that night at Tongue's Cafe in Wyandotte, MI. This song "wrote me" after President Obama's address to the nation, where he called the victims "20 beautiful little children." Dedicated to the victims and heroes of Sandy Hook.
20 Beautiful Children by Dave Martin Daddy, other kids were talking About the news on the tv I don't understand what happened Can you explain it to me? In some place called Connecticut Something happened with a man And a gun and lots of kids In a school that looked like mine 20 beautiful little children That's what the President called them Oh, I have so many questions Oh, I have so many questions Mother tell me why it happened Can Jesus give us a reason? Daddy, why is the President weeping? Daddy, what's that in your eye? Who will get their Christmas presents? Will their stockings still be filled? Do you think they'll go to heaven? What does it mean to be killed? Did you know these things have happened In other schools across the nation? How long until it happens To the kids at my school? So I listened to the questions Of my children as they spoke And I wondered about the parents Of the children who were gone And I thought about their children About the ones who still remain And I thought about their questions And I thought about their questions Where's my sister why's she missing Who will sleep in my brother's bed Mommy have you eaten? Is there anything I could have said? Did I forget to say I love you? Remember how we fought this morning? Why did Jesus have to take him? Will I ever see him again? Daddy, why did this have to happen? Why did this man have a gun? Daddy, who will stop all the bad men From hurting everyone? Can't we just take away the bullets? Can't we just stop making the guns? Why can't we take away the bullets? Why cant we just stop making the guns? For those 20 beautiful children For those 20 beautiful children For those 20 beautiful children If not for those 20 beautiful children, Then who?
