Put Down Your Gun

Trying To Let Everyone Survive

Put down your gun

There’s no need to run

The world is an ugly place

And that’s something that we can escape

We don’t know who to trust anymore

But time is running out, and we need to spread more joy

It’s never too late to change

Just know that love is never out of range

What’s wrong and what’s right?

We should never have to be in fright

I wish some people were different

But instead they want to be ignorant

Life is already hard

But killing someone makes your brain suffer

It’s just sad that everyday we have to be on guard

Would you help people become dumber, or tougher?

Let’s shake up this world

But in a more positive way

When anyone gets cold I expect them to be inside a warm blanket all curled

With the help of others?

Any kindness can go along way, like saying hey

I believe that nothing can go wrong when you pray

Love is always in the air

Especially when everyone should be treated fair
