Lyrics
Two red-tail hawksBreak to the skyFrom the treetopsOn our mountain high
By the grace of GodLike those hawksWe’re free
Back to the newsThe news of the dayAs much as I would loveTo look away
Another fallen heroHas been taken away
Seven little angelsWon’t be able toCall Daddy today
Seven little angelsBroken heartsBroken souls
I prayMay we trulySet this world free
Feed their heartsFeel their soulsYet we grow oldAnother heroWon’t grow old
No more little babiesWill shed a tearMissing DaddyTucking them inFor the nightTo see a new day
Seven little angelsWon’t be able toCall Daddy today
Seven little angelsBroken heartsBroken souls
I prayMay we trulySet this world free
Then the callComes inSoldiers at the door
Scream…Please, LordNo more
What can I say?What can I do?Can words ever explainWhy a life was taken?
Guns and tonguesBoth slayThink aboutWhat you say
Shoot your mouthHear those guns
Twenty-one gun salute
Two red-tail hawksMother NatureMother says…
DaddyWon’t be coming home
Seven little angelsWon’t be able toCall Daddy today
Seven little angelsBroken heartsBroken souls
I prayMay we trulySet this world free
Seven little angelsSeven little angels
DaddyWon’t be coming home
Two red-tail hawksBreak to the sky
