I Have a GUN ( But we can talk)

I Have a Gun (But we can talk).

 

I have a gun, I might die.

You have a gun, you might survive.

We might both survive, or we might both die.

But do we know the reasons why.

 

In our hearts do we know what we are fighting for.

Or are we just following orders from the 5th floor.

Have we misunderstood something we read in a book.

Is it true what they told us; did we take the time to look.

 

Where those preachings and videos on the Internet fact.

Have we without realising signed up to the devil’s pact.

Are the pictures on the television showing the truth.

Is it right what I have been told about you.

 

Are we just following like a line of sheep.

Not able to choose what we do or freely speak.

If we could choose, would we put down the guns.

Would we agree the truth must be shown.

 

If I put down my gun, will you sit by my side.

We can talk about our real feelings that we have inside.

If you put down your gun I will sit by your side.

We can talk and listen, and then we might understand why.
