Hey Papa Lyrics

Natasha Bedingfield

[Verse 1]
Kids and guns starting out so young
We normalize and empathize and hold our hands over our eyes
The breaking news, when I wake into
Turn it on, turn it off, pray to God one day it stops
What are we supposed to do
When everyone's afraid of changing?
How much do we have to lose?
Isn't all that we are worth saving?

[Pre-Chorus]
So raise your hands and raise them high, ooh yeah
Hold them up and hold your fight, oh yeah

[Chorus]
Hey Papa, what's the news?
Doesn't anybody wanna hear the truth?
Hey Papa, it's not fair
Seems like people going down everywhere

[Post-Chorus]
Hey Papa, oh hey

[Verse 2]
And we try to survive, oh, we'll live or we'll die
And we wanna be free, but we wanna be right
When I don't understand, I get angry sometimes
And we all want a piece of American dream
Red, white, and blue, freedom and peace
I don't know what it means 'cause it's far from our reach

[Pre-Chorus]
If not for you, then all for love, ooh yeah
For everyone, forever loved, oh yeah

[Chorus]
Hey Papa, I give up
I don't know if I'm strong enough
Hey Papa, are you still there?
I guess I'm getting just a little scared

[Post-Chorus]
Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa, oh yeah
Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa

[Bridge]
Oh whoa oh
Oh, oh, oh
Mamas mourn the loss in this world
And children pay the cost to live in this world

[Chorus]
Hey Papa, what's the news? (What's the news?)
Doesn't anybody wanna hear the truth?
Hey Papa, it's not fair (It's not fair, it's not fair)
Seems like people going down everywhere
Hey Papa, I give up
I don't know if I'm strong enough (Oh)
Hey Papa, are you still there? (Oh)
I guess I'm getting just a little scared (Oh yeah)

[Post-Chorus]
Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa, oh yeah
Hey Papa, hey, oh, hey Papa

[Outro]
I'm not going down
I'm not going down
