The water is wide
I can’t cross over
And neither have
I wings to fly
Build me a boat
To save my
child
And I shall row
To the other side
There is a ship
And she sails the sea
She’s loaded deep
As deep can be
But not so deep
To save innocence
When
gunmen come
Take them from us
We must build a boat
To carry all
And we shall row
To reach fair shores
And stop the guns
And heal the sorrow
Lord stop the guns
Protect us all
I know not how
To stop the shooting
Some elected
men
Just run and hide
Without
the courage
Of our fathers
And the strength
Of all our lives
We all must join
To end the sadness
Demand our right
To live in peace
To rid our lives
Of the gunman’s
violence
Lord stop the guns
Protect us all
We all know how
To stop the shooting
Elected men
Must stand and
fight
Embrace the courage
Of the mother
Who lost her child
To the endless night
We all must join
To stop the madness
Demand our right
To live in peace
To rid our lives
Of the gunman’s
violence
Lord stop the guns
Protect us all
Lord stop the guns
Protect us all
