Woke up Sunday morning with a lit crush in my hand
Buzzing on some coffee as a newsman shocked the land
What I heard brought me to my knees
As my heart skipped a beat...a beat
Forty-nine no pulse
Yeah, forty-nine no pulse
No, I can't really understand
How someone full of hate could bring the innocent to their graves
No, I don't care to contemplate how a man can kill a man in hopes to exterminate
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Forty-nine no pulse
Yeah, forty-nine no pulse
Up the street stood a brave soul
Working that dark night
She was on duty, trying to save a life
A victim laid there dying as the doctor declared everyone has their time
She said, "stay with me until I fade, until my last pulse passes through my veins
And even though I'm surely done please don't let me go unsung
Please don't let this go unsung"
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Forty-nine no pulse
Yeah, forty-nine no pulse
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Don't let me go unsung
Please don't let this go unsung
The only way to be free is to celebrate who you are
Forgive those who fear the things, the things they truly are
Through spilled blood we are one
Yeah, we are one
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Forty-nine no pulse
Yeah, forty-nine no pulse
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Don't let this go unsung
Please don't let this go unsung
The only way to be free is to celebrate who you are
Forgive those who fear the things, the things they truly are
Through spilled blood we are one
Yeah, we are one
