Desperation
A lonely feeling
Not knowing the cost of this choice
If only you knew the truth
Pre-Chorus:
The media tells you
It’s the only way
Well, I’m here to say
You’re not alone, no you’re not alone
Chorus:
Let them live, you know that life is sacred
Forgive them, they know not what they do
The most innocent among us are
Being put to death and something must be done about it (2x)
To hold him in your arms you’ll see
Is worth more than the whole wide world
Knowing that you fought for him
When everyone told you to end him
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
It’s time for us to stand up and fight
The senseless violence has gone too long
Half a century of lies and injustice
So many people heard the sirens’ song
Pray for life, yes, pray for healing
Only God can save us from ourselves
We won’t stop until the whole world knows that
Death is never the answer
