Locked Gate

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hands off the kids, keep it clean No backroom games, no fake sheen Too many smiles hide sharp teeth Too many wolves want easy grief You flash a chain, you flash a grin But the door stays shut, you don’t get in They need safe homes, not hungry lies Not one more monster in disguise [Pre-Chorus] We see the signs We draw the line Small voices count They will be heard [Chorus] Locked gate, locked gate (locked gate) Keep them safe, keep them safe Locked gate, locked gate (locked gate) No one bends that fate Hands off, hands off That’s the rule we say Locked gate, locked gate Send the dark away [Verse 2] Moms stay ready, dads stay near Watch those tricks and fake good cheer Every kid deserves bright days Not smoke and mirrors, not twisted praise If you cross that line, we call it out We do not shrink, we do not doubt We make a circle, strong and wide With truth in front and love inside [Pre-Chorus] We see the signs We draw the line Small voices count They will be heard [Chorus] Locked gate, locked gate (locked gate) Keep them safe, keep them safe Locked gate, locked gate (locked gate) No one bends that fate Hands off, hands off That’s the rule we say Locked gate, locked gate Send the dark away [Bridge] For every child who felt too small We stand up tall, we answer all No more silence, no more fear We keep the monsters out of here [Final Chorus] Locked gate, locked gate (locked gate) Keep them safe, keep them safe Locked gate, locked gate (locked gate) No one bends that fate Hands off, hands off That’s the rule we say Locked gate, locked gate Send the dark away
