Another gun, another shot, another bullet flies Another place, another wound, another person dies Another paper’s headline, another claim of disbelief Another time of sorrow, and another family’s grief In the aftermath of ****** it’s another call to prayer Another prelude to inaction in a land that doesn’t care I pray that we can live a life devoid of death and fear I pray to stop the slaughter in this barbaric atmosphere I pray the hate stops flying. I pray the threat soon ends I pray for all my children; I pray for family and for friends I pray for love, I pray for hope, I pray the killings cease I pray for you, I pray for me, I pray for lasting peace Though God may have the upper it’s not God’s hand on the gun Give a weapon to a demon and a wicked deed gets done We have armed the devil’s legions, and oh how he is smirking It’s time to change the gun laws. It’s clear the prayers aren’t working

To God we Offer God a Prayer, But to the Devil We Give a Gun
Another gun, another shot, another bullet flies Another place, another wound, another person dies Another paper’s headline, another claim of disbelief Another time of sorrow, and another family’s grief In the aftermath of ****** it’s another call to prayer Another prelude to inaction in a land that doesn’t care I pray that we can live a life devoid of death and fear I pray to stop the slaughter in this barbaric atmosphere I pray the hate stops flying. I pray the threat soon ends I pray for all my children; I pray for family and for friends I pray for love, I pray for hope, I pray the killings cease I pray for you, I pray for me, I pray for lasting peace Though God may have the upper it’s not God’s hand on the gun Give a weapon to a demon and a wicked deed gets done We have armed the devil’s legions, and oh how he is smirking It’s time to change the gun laws.
