Violence


We've fought since the beginning of time.

We've fought for the very land we live on.

We've fought for our freedoms.

We've sent our sons, daughters, husbands and wives 

  to fight in battles we aren't sure they'd even return from and many have not.

 

There's a war in Ukraine against Russia.

Children seeing their friends and family members 

  killed right in front of them,.

Children asking, "Why and when will I see them again?"

The children will never be the same.

The warfare has to stop. 

Our warfare has to stop.

 

American children are fighting a whole different war.

A war they shouldn't have to worry about-Guns at school.

We send our children to school to learn.

Not to wory if we will pick them up at the end of the day.

The children will never be the same.

The warfare has to stop.

Our warfare has to stop.
