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
