about

A different take on the controversy.

lyrics

I have never owned a gun
Shot one once kind of fun
Pulled the trigger that was it
Hit the target then I split

To each his own that’s what I say
No one’s taking guns away
They might be needed in this place
Protecting us from outer space

Today they’re pointed at each other
To keep us safe from one another
Makes no sense to me but hey
We all return to dust someday

Its not for me to take a life
Or give somebody else advise
I was born upon this earth
Where destruction equals worth

Peace is easy peace is safe
I better life, a better place
Takes no action. Takes no lives
Peace is needed to survive

I can only preach so much
Mostly I feel out of touch
With all that’s trending in our wake
The news today is often fake
Spreading stories that aren’t true
The sky is green it’s not blue

For some it’s powerful and fun
To confuse most everyone
Me I’m stuck here with the truth
Knowing it has little use
In today’s big frightened culture
Where the dove yields to the vulture

So point the guns up to the sky
No need to target you and I
We’re not the ones we need to fear
The enemy is not yet here
