Hey you, with the gun
Do you feel big now?
Does that man made creation make you feel powerful?
And you, with the knife
Do you think you look sharp? Does that blade make you feel strong?
What about the person you're gonna use it against?
How will they feel?
(They will never feel again.)
How will their mom and dad feel when you're all done?
(Neither will they.)
What about their son?
Or their neighbor
Or their wife
What about yours?
Your wife and kids, and mom and dad?
Where are they right now?
What if an armed man tried to hurt them?
Hey, you with the bombs and the big tanks
What are you doing? What are all of you doing?
With each act of violence a life is lost and your heart grows more dark
What point are you trying to make? Is it worth it? What do you really gain?
Hey! You, with the face
Don't know who I'm talking to?
That's because we're all the same
Put the guns down. Stop with the bombs. Stop adding more hurt to the world than there has to be.
Instead of spreading blood
Why not love?
I know your past may be oblique
But is an even darker future really what you seek?
So all of you, with the weapons
Lets put them down and end it here
I know there is some good in you that you could share
Forget the violence. Forget the hate.
Make the decision now to change your fate
