The guns are blasting
Loved ones are taken away
When will it stop?
We’re searching for answers every day Come on people do let peace prevail
Let’s live in harmony
And keep away from jail
We cry daily as they are taken to the grave
The guilty are cowards
Why not be brave
Put down the guns
And give a smile and some care
Your time is coming
There is a God above
The tears of the harmless will never go in vain
Young ones are suffering as they cry in pain
Lives are lost
There’s no food on the table
We can only take this as we’re able
Resist we must but in the rightful way
Cheddi and Mandela taught us this each day
Drugs and crimes are sure tickets to hell
Why not live in peace and enjoy it well
Our time is precious and so short is life
The next to go might be your husband or wife
Respect each other my friend and always give them care
Why should we live in fear, do let Peace Prevail.
