Lay Down Your Guns

Verse 1: 
In this land of freedom, where our voices should be heard 
Too many guns are out there causing death and hurt 
Our schools and streets are not safe, and we can't ignore 
The price we pay for our right to bear arms 
is much too high, much too high

Chorus: 
So lay down your guns, and let's make a change
 It's time for peace to take its place 
We don't need weapons to make us feel strong 
Our hearts and our words can carry on

Verse 2: 
The bullets fly too often, ripping families apart 
If you say it's the price of freedom, you’re not smart 
We need to come together, put our differences aside 
To work towards a safer world, 
where peace can thrive, peace can thrive

Chorus: 
So lay down your guns, and let's make a change 
It's time for peace to take its place 
We don't need weapons to make us feel strong 
Our hearts and our words can carry on

Verse 3: 
We must protect our children, our neighbors and friends 
From the violence and destruction that gun culture sends 
It's time for common sense, and a shift in our hearts 
To realize that more guns 
won't heal the world, heal the world

Chorus: 
So lay down your guns, and let's make a change 
It's time for peace to take its place 
We don't need weapons to make us feel strong 
Our hearts and our words can carry on

Let's stand together, for a world without guns 
Where love and compassion can finally run 
It won't be easy, but we must make a start 
To heal our wounds and end violence tearing us apart
