When it’s time to bear arms
My family is what drives me through pain
Not to cause harm but instead to disarm
Some people think its human but it’s inhumane

Then one by one were taken from our mother’s protection
To be loaded on boats and shipped to a foreign place
People say that bullets are the killer but its actually infection
Why do we fight we are all the human race

Then we all got shot we had no chance
We made our final marks on this earth
People don’t care about us not even a glance
When there is war there is more death than birth

soon as people realise they’ve lost too many friends
Then war will end.
