Gun Violence

Gun Violence (Verse1) Everyday somewhere Someone life is not spared No longer sitting in silence Let's talk about gun Violence Everyday a detective is on their way To visit a family To tell them horrible news Family feeling lost and confused How can you take something you didn't give How could your heart be like this unreal That you feel you have to kill That you feel you got to take Why is this world so full of hate Hear me lord , hear me cry I'm crying out for a world No longer safe , how did we get to this place Chorus Lord what's happening What's going on Why is the world ,so full of hatred And we don't t in silence Lord help stop the gun Violence Verse 2 Guns were meant to protect When we go to war Now people are going to far Having drive bys Mass shootings What is the world polluting No longer caring With a life No longer sparing Take the gun off safety And they just spraying It's so sad That killing has become the new norm No longer fun , just harm I'm so hurt you don't understand You see this was never able the part of Gods plan Simple things cost your life Like you are a sacrifice What are we doing We out here loosing Families crying Love ones keep dying What do we do Let our voices be the truth Drop down to out knees and pray That the lord hear me Hear me in this world We are in desperate need Of his holy spirit To succeed We have to realize the truth Without God on our side there's no use Chorus Lord what's happening What's going on Why is the world ,so full of hatred And we don't t in silence Lord help stop the gun Violence Bridge: Moms and Dads , sisters and brothers , should not have to bury each other No matter who they are even a friend Gun Violence should not be the way their life end My heart go out to everyone who this hits close to home I am here for you , you are not alone (Repeat 1x) Chorus Lord what's happening What's going on Why is the world ,so full of hatred And we don't t in silence Lord help stop the gun Violence Written by: Concetta Hardnett 08/14/2021
