Lyrics:
Trouble in little town
People all gathered around
Abandoned bag on a step
This is what happened next
I was only trying to hear what the teacher said
Then I heard a gunshot ringing in my head
Can see us on the evening news, there's 23 dead
In two-by-twos with our shirts stained red
We walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven now
It's hard to get through the days
Knowing they're miles away
Knowing what could've been
I look on down and I see
My brother on the stand, trying to make a case
My mother in the hallway with tears upon her face
The lawyers say these cruel machines, they keep us safe
But you and me, we know the price to pay
As we walk these streets of heaven
Walk these streets of heaven
Another shot, wasted life
Another friend to walk beside
I know it hurts, but wipe your eyes
And we'll sing until the old men cry
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
We're just a bunch of kids who didn't have to die
As we walk these streets of heaven
As we walk these streets of heaven
As we walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven now

"We're just a bunch of kids who didn't have to die," i cried.

So heartwarming to see you using your music for a good cause. Thank you Tom!

Condolences to all the families that lost their kids in the many school shootings 😢😢😢😢

[@lena.372]

Thank you Tom for your music ❤️😢 The world is needing someone like you !

[@talievincent2184]

This song stabbed me right through the heart. Truly insane how for many people in the US guns are valued so much more than children's lives...

[@TheMettehjensen]

And the rest of the world is shaking their heads collectively in disbelief.

[@Phoenix-kh1iu]

Mental health isn't valued more actually, guns have as much power to protect as they do to hurt

[@iulianapop1058]

Heartbreaking and so true. Love your songs 🎵 ❤ 💕 ♥ 💗 💖 🎵

If good People give up their Weapons only Criminals and Police will have Weapons and then Government and Big Corporations have an easier Time enslaving us

[@brainytwoorandomness4930]

It's not all about the guns, it's mostly about our freedom, we have our freedom because of guns. It's not the guns that do the killing anyway, it's the people that use them. What we need to do is get such people the help they need instead of fighting the Constitution, the very thing our country was built on.

The sad fact that millions will relate "and I don't know why" it's so unfair. Beautiful song for beautiful souls lost.

[@weronikachlebowska6998]

I live in Europe and it's unbelievable for us that kids are getting killed all the time and it seems like nothing changes... America, why? Is having a gun in your possession really matters more than life?

[@lenaramoon4617]

americans don't see it that way, unfortunately

[@melodieprimvert2702]

That s true. I'm French and Gun Control is for me an essential thing, not a debate... 🙁 As for the why, it s a lot to do with history and lobbying (is it a correct word in English ? ). We have all different history, and, though it does not annihilate responsability, it is something that can explain a lot. Also, a lot of Americans tried to change this througout the years, but because of the lack of true leftwing politic in America and the facts that presidents have an only four-years mandat (so politics change very quickly, and also they are in campaigns like half of their mandat, so they avoid game-changing reform to keep a max of voters), nothing really changed... But if this was a rethorical question, which was not asked to have an answer but more to show your anger and shock, then I would agree to it and ask : why ? Is it really worth it ?

[@JohnFitzgeraldKennedy-]

In America we have more guns then people

[@tennesseeoutlaw4563]

I’m an American and I believe that there should be more things you should go through in order to possess a gun like a year of training and if you fail it adds another year on top of that year and just keeps on I’m not even going to lie I own about 20 guns and I really don’t use them except for going out in to the field that I have by my house and I shoot clay, metal signs and blocks just to have a little bit of fun but honestly I have never felt like taking another’s life because our souls and our body’s are to precious and I get asked a lot of times do I Agree with war and fighting yes and no if it has to happen then yes I will fight for my life and others but before that I’d would try and make peace because at the end of the day who’s really winning, no one is the winning side will still have to deal with guilt and mental health problems and the losing side will have to live with mental health problems and guilt also and with that it makes anger and that why we don’t see any changes being made because it’s a ongoing cycle but I’m going to stop rambling because I feel like it’s going to be to long of a comment and no one will want to hear what I got to say

[@idemarluis8682]

Aqui no Brasil é difícil conseguir armas. Porém o número de mortes com armas de fogo é bem maior que nós EUA.

So heart-wrenching and beautiful animation along with this poignant song. I was moved to tears. ❤😥 ❤

I’m crying so much. What a unique song, this is amazing and extremely sad💔

[@omohojeabulu7813]

My heart goes to anyone who has lost someone in this manner ❤

[@youratwinklingstar5644]

Hearing this for the first time and I almost cried, I wanted to share it with my family but at last no one understands your pain or the things you love, the way you do. Anyways, Tom has been my favourite artist for at least two years now, I've listened to "Another Love" at least 1,000 times (I'm really not joking though) and its been a therapy. Thank you Tom for understanding and putting my thoughts and heart into beautiful music, I really can't explain it.

[@Itz_DJJJ]

This is actually one of my favourite songs. I love it so much and this just reminded me of it.

[@rowanmosaad]

That "It's just the way it is. I don't know why" part written beside the judge, the child and the mother hits different. Every one of them says the same line but from a different perspective. Kudos to Johanna, the illustrator and Tom.

Не поет он о вашей окраине. Он поет о детях которые погибают от рук убийц в школах и на улицах.

[@user-kd6lx5dd9u]

@@olgakhaizenberg2570 вот вы написали незнакомому человеку очевидность. Обесценили его переживания. Шовинистически исковеркали название его страны. Так вам проще забыть, что дети в Украине тоже погибают от рук убийц? Не думать о том кто их убивает? Или это "другое"?.. но раз вы слушаете песни Тома, есть надежда, что не все потеряно. Желаю мирного неба всем

[@kristen.theoret]

Damn, dude… my heart! For everybody out there, I’m sorry for the people you’ve loved in this life and lost; I’m sorry for the pain you’ve faced and hid from the world; this world keeps getting scarier and it seems like everybody has lost their minds… but I promise you, and I know this for a fact, there is still hope - there is always hope. I wish all the best for you in life and all the happiness. We can still make it in this world if we stand up for each other. The real enemy is out there laughing while we fight amongst ourselves, killing our brothers and sisters when we should turn on the ones who keep us trapped in a system of fear.

[@outoftunepianist]

last year, my school was put on lockdown because we got a threat of a shooter at the school. we weren’t allowed out of the classroom, and had to barricade the doors. basically sitting ducks. there was literally no plan that the teachers knew of if something like that happened. we were stuck there for 3 hours. i even wrote goodbye letters on my phone to my family and friends, and texted my best friend and my mom that i love them. the police got the person out of the school before she could do anything. but the fact that i had to write fucking goodbye letters to my family and friends as an 8th grader is just disgusting and sad. i’m so grateful i don’t have to relate to this song, but it really scares me that it could happen again. it kind of makes me scared to live in america. it’s disgusting how often it happens.
