It's Happening Right Here
Sometimes it's hard to see it
If you don't know what you're looking for
It's easier believing
It don't happen in a town like yours
'Cause church bells ring on Sunday
There's 9 to 5's and baseball games
And if no one talks about it
Then no one has to say
It's happening right here
It's happening right now
Yeah, once you turn the light on
You can't just turn it out
It's behind the door, just up the street
Down the hall on a cell phone screen
It's a wake up call for us all in the mirror
It's happening right here
It's a mom and dad's worst nightmare
They don't ever wake up from
All the sleepless nights, the how's and why's
And what we could've dones
It's an up too real conversation
We don't wanna have too late
But we can start to make a difference
By standing up to say
It's happening right here
It's happening right now
Once you turn the light on
You can't just turn it out
It's behind the door, just up the street
Down the hall on a cell phone screen
It's a wake up call for us all in the mirror
It's happening right here
Oh, right here
There's power when the silence breaks
So for every son and daughter's sake
A few simple words just might save a life
So we gotta talk, we gotta try, we gotta fight
'Cause it's happening right here
It's happening right now
Yeah, once we turn the light on
We can drive the darkness out
It's behind the door, up the street
Down the hall on a cell phone screen
It's a wake up call for us all in the mirror
It's happening right here
It's happening right here
