We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school On the first day of sixth grade I had never used a locker Never done it by myself The kid next to me had noticed He offered me some help I said "if you don't mind it, i need some help" He said, "no i got you, i know how you felt" He said "go right then left and back to the right That's how you do it, so why don't you try?" From that point on, his lesson still ain't left I thanked him and then he just smiled and left Though we were neighbors we never did speak We saw each other each day of the week First day, next year he stopped coming to school They said "he's taught at home, i thought that's cool" Our school was growing each day and i knew it So why not give his locker to a new student? I guess he's coming back, i started hoping 10 months later his locker still unopened Eventually opening my locker was a habit I don't need to picture him back when i had it Then one morning before history started Principle came in with his smile guarded He said all of our questions will be answered He told us my neighbor just lost to a cancer Home, can i go home? Just lost- just lost to cancer Just lost- just lost to cancer Home, can i go home? They made sure to give his locker to another student The following week We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school I was in french, my entire tenth grade I can't remember a word to this day But i remember the girl sat behind me who Always asked questions Ten times a lesson Thankful she did, she asked questions i wondered If she didn't my grade probably would suffer Wasn't certain of her face but i know her voice Texture and tone that would danced in her poise She won every review game that we played You'd have to cheat to just conquer her grade If she missed a day, i'd barely take notes Shivers on test day, it's tough to shake those Suddenly her seat was empty for weeks Maybe vacation, she's in soccer leagues But rumors started to spread before school could announce it I musta heard over a thousand Then one day before our french class started Madam Roache just spoke with her smile guarded She told us the truth without a filter She held her tears, her face turned bitter After reciting some grief centered passages She told us that the girl was in an accident 4 students driving drunk when the jeep overturned She died on impact and her body burned Home, can i go home? Just lost- just lost to cancer Just lost- just lost to cancer Home, can i go home? We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school We can't all make it out of school I woke up this morning to the same news Thoughts and their prayers recited on cue 19 more kids will not come home for dinner I remember when this made me feel bitter Now i just scroll and move on with my day Now i'm just numb and accept it won't change Now i just watch as they argue the blame Now i just wait for the next list of names Now i just pray they can focus on tests Now i just pray all my teachers can rest Now i just pray my friend responds to texts Now i just pray that my brother ain't next Not even school's safe, hold tight to your loves When you drop em off, it might be their last hug We can't all make it out, it's law from above But i thought sickness and accidents would be enough Guess i was wrong, guess they need more Better off if all the victims seems poor My neighbor's a teacher she ain't worked in months Her husband won't let her, "school's ain't safe enough" I wish he was wrong, i wish i was strong Enough to ensure my family makes it home I know we can't all make it out of our school Who's left behind? it's your turn to choose Home, can i go home? Just lost- just lost to cancer Just lost- just lost to cancer Home, can i go home? At least 19 children At least 19 children At least 19 children At least 19 children
