[Verse 1]
The graveyard is waiting
The church to let up
The church to let up on Friday morning
The pastor is preaching, tears in his eyes
The shots were set off without warning

[Verse 2]
The aisles don't see much traffic these days
Not even for Sunday service
Inside these walls so sacred and safe
You wouldn't think to be nervous

[Chorus]
Let the choir keep singing
Those songs that no one wants to hear
Let the daylight remind us
Those hymns are falling on deaf ears

[Verse 3]
Everyone said, "We can forgive"
Is 18 years worth celebrating?
This ain't the day for finding the truth
And now all these questions keep begging

[Chorus]
Let the choir keep singing
Those songs that no one wants to hear
Let the daylight remind us
Those hymns are falling on deaf ears
