Robert Oberbeck - I Wish I Could Have Stopped You Lyrics

It was a sunny march morning
You took her life
And the lives of many others, too
Nobody there to stop you
Except that last bullet
Of your gun

Look at this picture
A beautiful young girl
With a world full of dreams
I long for the life
We lived before her death, so much
Your father
Should have put those guns away


Maybe there is the sky
Maybe even
The sun shining outside, too
But what is left
Is a life without a life
Inside
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you

How can I believe
How can I keep on talking to God
Right now
I'm running out of faith
Hope and dignity
I wish your father
Had put those guns away

Now you
And your hate
Are still haunting the peace
On every street around here
The seasons don't change
Feels like winter, everyday
Your father
Should have put those guns away

Maybe there is the sky
Maybe even
The sun
Shining outside, too
But what is left
Is a life without a life
Inside
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
Oh I wish I could have stopped you


Maybe there is the sky
Maybe even
The sun
Shining outside, too
I live a life
In which life has
Disappeared
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
On that March morning
I wish I could have stopped you
I wish I could have stopped you
