Violence

smiley, little baby snuggled in her mommy's arms.
pray you'll always keep yer daughter
safe and free from harm.
i wish that everyone lived in a happy place:
sunshine and bright eyes on everybody's face.

it's not about me.
it's not about you.
it's not about them or what they do.
it's not about pride it's about:
we must all understand
violence lies
it's not about me.
it's not about you.
it's about life.

apathy kills anger - and this is what ya choose.
there's always gonna be somebody who will lose.
did ya ever stop and think about the world as is.
life's about living, can't believe it's come to this.

it's not about me.
it's not about you.
it's not about them or what they do.
it's not about pride it's about:
we must all understand
violence lies
it's not about me.
it's not about you.
it's about life.

(open our eyes, you and i, children die, mothers cry, violence lies.)
