This song was written the morning of the Sandy Hook shootings by my wife and myself. Being parents, we couldn't imagine how the parents of the shooting victims felt......

lyrics

Lucky Penny

She was looking forward to her sixth birthday
with Hello Kitty themes
No colleges or graduation days
No wedding bells were in her dreams
Her whole life was waiting for her
she loved to thank God for the sun
Till a man walked into her classroom
With a hand wrapped around a gun

Chorus Lucky Penny
Walking through the halls of heaven
With angels for company
Now Jesus is a little richer
So Penny say a prayer for peace
Lucky Penny

They named her after her great grandmother
but Penny was her nickname
Daddy called her his copper headed girl
cause that temper you couldn’t tame
She didn’t have a care in the world
on that cold December day
the only thing she was thinking about
was Christmas was a week away

Chorus

Bridge Lighting a candle ain’t enough
Cause losing a child hurts so much
There ain’t no prayers no words of comfort
For the loved ones left behind
That man didn’t think about
all the heart’s that he’d break
that man didn’t think about
all the lives that he’d take
With a wicked heart and a darkened soul
And evil in his hand
Something that we parents
Will never ever understand

Chorus

B. Crain / S. Crain
