Lyrics
I heard there's a man out there that's going to come
it seems that it is for soon
I was told he was coming to save us, I'm not sure exactly what from
and all that in the name if a God...
CHORUS:
Please stand before you shoot, I'm not ready yet,
Let us know what cause we serve, I mean if you dare
Tell me now in what name, come here and show me your face
Please introduce yourself before you bomb my land
Before you bomb my land...
I heard there's a place where people lived in fog, I can't eat but they can't know
They say that in this country power's led by money, and all that in the name of their Guns..., so
CHORUS:
Please stand before you shoot, I'm not ready yet,
Let us know what cause we serve, I mean if you dare
Tell me now in what name, come here and show me your face
Please introduce yourself before you bomb my land
Promised Land, I believed in you, I thaught I knew you,
look what we've been through
Once again I believed so strong, I believed in you...hey...
Tell me now in what name, come here and show me your face
Please introduce yourself before you bomb my land...

Do you really think it's right, do you really really think it's right
Don't you think it's a little bit wrong ...to kill, to kill
To die, die, die, to die for nothing
Hey Mr. President! Is killing a solution, aw
didn't your daddy teach you that
Is killing the solution, han
if killing's the solution, hey
then won't you kill yourself, then won't you kill yourself
Then won't you kill yourself right now...
and let us live, let us leave...
just let us breathe...
Please, let us live
