A lot of folks in this country right here
Are sick and tired of living in fear
Life can be rough here without all this
So to the gunmen our message is this
Chorus
We beg you stop this, stop this, please stop this
Please stop the killing right now
My brethren stop this, stop this
For God’s sake, stop this
Please stop the killing right now
It has been documented in our history
That we fought hard so that we could be free
Yes we got together as a people
And fought off slavemasters and their evil
Chorus
So we can stop this, stop this, please stop this
Please stop the killing right now
My brethren stop this, stop this
For God’s sake, stop this
Please stop the killing right now

We’ve all got to do something
About the guns, the drugs and the knives
If we all do this together
We copd be saving many innocent lives
So let’s all get together right now
And work all our problems out
The loved ones we’ve lost can’t come back
Let’s keep the lives of those with us in tact

Mother, mother, there’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother, there’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some loving here today
Father, father, we all want you to come back home
We have a massive problem and we can’t solve it on our own
We need much more support from you
Or we ain’t never gonna make it through
Chorus
Because without the guns, we can save a life
Put down the knife and save another life
Throw away the drugs, save a million lives
What ‘ll make us strong is your guiding hands
Let’s make a stand, let’s make a stand
Let’s make a stand, let’s make a stand
In the meantime, we need to come together
And find the love that’s lost inside each other
Recognise that we all need one another
We’re god’s children and we’re all brothers and sisters
Facing the same problems
In a strained and hostile society
It’s time we made a stand
And father, father, so many things are going wrong
We need you all here beside us
Because together we be so strong
Oh yes, we really need you in our lives
Instead of loaded guns, drugs or knives
