   Peace and Violence      

 

Violence is everywhere.

You can't speak out because no one hears and no one cares.

If we speak from our hearts and souls,

Maybe people will listen to what we want to say about violence.

If we fight for our rights, I just know we can find the light.

I think if we all hear what people have to say about violence,

I know that we can stop it.

Right here, right now.

It's time to end the violence and live in a peaceful world.
