Intro

x2

Love was taken from a young life

And no one told her why

Her direction has a dimlight

From one more violent crime

She innocently questioned why,

Why her father had to die

She asked the men in blue

How is it that you get to choose,

Who will live and who will die

Did God say that you could decide?

You saw he didn't run

And that my daddy had no gun.

In the middle of a village.

Way in a distant land

Lies a poor boy with his broken toy

Too young to understand.

He's awaken, ground is shakin

His father grabs his hand

Screaming, crying, his wife's dying

Now he's left to explain.

He innocently questioned why

Why his mother had to die

What did these soldiers come here for?

If they're for peace, why is there war?

Did God say that they could decide

Who will live and who will die?

All my mama ever did

Was try to take care of her kids.

We're innocently standing by

Watching people lose their lives

It seems as if we have no voice

It's time for us to make a choice

Only God could decide

Who will live and who will die

There's nothing that can't be done

If we raise our voice as one.

They've gotta hear it from me

They've gotta hear it from you

They've gotta hear it from us

We can't take it. We've already had enough.

They've gotta hear it from me

They've gotta hear it from you

They've gotta hear it from us

We can't take it. We've already had enough.

They've gotta hear it from me

They've gotta hear it from you

They've gotta hear it from you, baby

We can't take it. We've already had enough.

Deep in your soul and let God decide

(Deep in my soul baby,)

It's up to me and i'm still alive

(Deep in my soul)

They've gotta hear it from us

We can't take it. We've already had enough.

It's going down baby.

Just let God decide.

It's going on baby.

Just let God decide.

Deep in my soul baby,

We've already had enough.

They've gotta hear it from me

They've gotta hear it from you

They've gotta hear it from us

We can't, we can't. We've already had enough.

We've all ready had enough.

They gotta take it from me,

ask my brother, its too much for me.

Ask my brother baby.

Ask my mother, We've already had enough.
