SONG FOR RENÉE NICOLE MACKLIN GOOD

## Lyrics

### Lyrics: American Obituary

You have the right to remain silent  
or not…  
  
God above a mother's love  
A guiding hand to pick you up  
To crush her like a coffee cup  
Why?  
Crossing guard or yellow bus  
Our children teach us who to trust  
The worst can't kill what's best in us  
But they can try  
America will rise  
Against the people of the lie  
  
I love you more  
Than hate loves war  
I love you more  
Than hate loves war  
(War, war)  
  
We love you more than hate loves war  
  
Renee Good born to die free  
American mother of three  
Seventh day January  
A bullet for each child, you see  
The color of her eye  
930 Minneapolis  
To desecrate domestic bliss  
Three bullets blast, three babies kissed  
Renee the domestic terrorist???  
What you can't kill can't die  
America will rise  
Against the people of the lie  
I love you more  
Than hate loves war  
I love you more  
Than hate loves war  
(War, war)  
  
We love you more than hate loves war  
  
I am not mad at you, Lord  
You're the reason I was there  
Could you stop a heart from breaking  
By having it not care?  
Could you stop a bullet in midair?  
  
She says…  
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power  
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power  
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power  
  
In the streets with children playing  
In the churches where they're praying  
School teachers are explaining  
America, America  
The power of the people!  
  
We love you more (we say, we say) than hate loves war  
I love you more (I say, I say) than hate loves war  
  
\[ Renée Nicole Macklin Good was great  
1988-2026 \]
