He was only twenty-one on the other side of the gun
And on the note, it read
"I can't take this world full of hatred
Violence and grudges are holding me back"
These words my final surrender
Thanks to you, I'm pulling the trigger back
Gunshots and tied knots are not the solution
Rise up! Rise Up!
Put an end to the sound of the sirens
Rise up! Rise up!
Be a voice for the voiceless
Dear Father, this world's a broken mess
In need of your forgiveness
So oblivious to the fire they have set
So I pray with everything that I have left
That I'd find peace in this unrest
And if today I take my final breath I have one last request
Give light to their eyes, or they will sleep in death
Sleep in death
Gunshots and tied knots are not the solution
Rise up! Rise Up! (Rise up!)
Put an end to the sound of the sirens (The sirens)
Rise up! Rise up!
Be a voice for the voiceless
