LOVE IS THE ANSWER

VERSE 1
In a world so full of tears
I pretend to hold you near
How I wish you were still here
VERSE 2
In a world so full of crime
A gunman took what once was mine
Now it happens all the time
PRE-CHORUS
In my memories
You're safe in my arms
And life seems so beautiful
But I know that right outside
The bullets fly and mothers cry
CHORUS
No more killing
No one wins
Will this madness
Ever end
God please give us
The love you possess
When will we learn
That love is the answer
VERSE 3
When the dark clouds do appear
I pretend that you are here
And I can tell you, you were loved
BREAK
PRE-CHORUS
In my memories
You're safe in my arms
And life seems so beautiful
But I know that right outside
The bullets fly and mothers cry
CHORUS
Please no more killing
No one wins
Will this madness
Ever end
God please give us
The love you possess
When will we learn
That love is the answer
VERSE 4
You were never given the chance
To grow into the man
That I knew that you'd become
My beautiful son
