16 years, 16 ways They shot my baby by mistake I'm all alone on a midnight ride My 16 kids, they all have died They ain't coming back It's too late I haven't slept in 14 days And now it's time to barricade Myself in these 4 walls My 16 kids, they all have gone They ain't coming back, no It's too late They shot my baby but they killed my faith They shot my baby but they killed my faith I worked so hard for 40 years I told my girls they had nothing to fear Then one by one, they got shot down The youngest one had a gun to his ear They ain't coming back, no no no It's too late They shot my baby but they killed my faith They ain't coming back, no It's too late They shot my baby but they killed my faith They shot my baby but they killed my faith They shot my baby but they killed my faith They shot my baby but they killed my faith
