Sent in by a Canadian, yep my first 'north of the border' submission. This girl wants the violence to stop.
She is using the song to back a video project she's working on. Stay tuned for the link to that project when it's up!
Join with Tanya and stop the violence - Find a Way to Change!
Look at the world we live in
A loaded gun a sharpened knife
A horrible place where no one wins
Somethings wrong with a violent life
The violence is addictive
It's the power we crave
In the end nothing will give
Just another teen in the grave
Each life that's been lost
We didn't need to lose
Is Violence worth the cost
Is it time for us to choose
Would we rather die today than find
Find a way to change
Stabbings every night gun fights in the streets
Again two strangers fight before they get to meet
A young girl sits alone with a knife to her wrist
As others telephone asking how could I have missed
All the signs of loneliness screaming she's got one option left
What will it take for people to stand up and fight
Fight to make it right
Each life that's been lost
We didn't need to lose
Is Violence worth the cost
Is it time for us to choose
The hurt and the pain
Will never go away
If we don't choose to change
and invite love to stay
Would we rather die today than find
Wait for a brighter day
When scars will fade away
People will start to pray for change
