New Normal

Walking through these high school halls afraid
Locks on the doors but I don't feel safe
Too many guns in the hands of hate
It's the new normal

We're supposed to be young and innocent
But it feels like those days just came and went
World's looking darker than it's ever been
It's the new normal

We're too young for all this hurting
Give us peace, give us peace
We can't carry all this heavy
Give us strength, give us strength
We're so tired of all the anger
Give us love, give us love
We want a new normal
We want a new normal

You're not a stranger to our pain
You see every tear on every face
One day they'll all be wiped away
In a new normal

We're not alone in the in-between
Be our hope when hope is unseen
Give us a glimpse of the greater dream
A new normal

We're too young for all this hurting
Give us peace, give us peace
We can't carry all this heavy
Give us strength, give us strength
We're so tired of all the anger
Give us love, give us love
We want a new normal
We want a new normal

In this world there will be trouble
But take heart, take heart
He has overcome the world
In this world there will be trouble
But take heart, take heart

We're too young for all this hurting
Give us peace, give us peace
We can't carry all this heavy
Give us strength, give us strength
We're so tired of all the anger
Give us love, give us love
We want a new normal (we want a new normal)
We want a new normal (we want a new normal)

In this world there will be trouble
But take heart, take heart
He has overcome the world
In this world there will be trouble
But take heart, take heart
