lyrics

Louder Than Guns
2021 Aidan Quinn & Christine Stay, Friction Farm

open up the door ask somebody in
wage a little kindness help end their suffering
give up just a little bit of all that you have won
you are louder, louder than a gun
Sing your song of cour
age
–
get ready to take a stand
Sing your song of justice
–
aim to lend a helping hand
Sing your song of hope
–
like the fire of a thousand suns
Sing your song of peace
–
we are louder than guns
give that kid a second chance, benefit of the doubt
help to
make them fit in not look for a way out a way out
show them what you've learned about love and compassion
you are louder, louder than a gun
Sing your song of courage
–
get ready to take a stand
Sing your song of justice
–
aim to lend a helping hand
Sing your song of hope
–
like the fire of a thousand suns
Sing your song of peace
–
we are louder than guns
let go of the ancient grudge see people as they are are
forget about the us and them we're just dust from a single star
practice what you preach be fair
to everyone
you are louder, louder than a gun
Sing your song of courage
–
get ready to take a stand
Sing your song of justice
–
aim to lend a helping hand
Sing your song of hope
–
like the fire of a thousand suns
Sing your song of peace
–
we are louder than guns
