Put it down, put it down please stop a moment and think.
1 second 2 seconds count to ten.
Please change your mind, you don't have to do it, change your life, turn it around no good can come from war and hate.
Put it down, put it down please stop a moment and think.
A life, a loved one, someone's best friend, a brother, a sister, an aunt, an uncle, a grandad, a grandma, a mother, a father, a loved one, someone's special friend.
Put it down, put it down please stop a moment and think.
We can be friend’s you and me, we're not so different you see we all have struggles do you see.
To love one another instead, what a wonderful world this can be. No war, no hate, just love, love and peace love and peace some more.
Put it down, put it down, no need for hurt or pain, no knives, no drugs, no hate just love.
Love can wound and love can heal. Let's never forget who we are, from pain comes love and struggles so we're not so different from me and you.
So please put it down, save a life instead and save your own too. Love is all you need, all you need is love.
Talk to a loved one instead, seek some support, reach out to family and friends there's a better life for you waiting on the other side, you can make it if only you believe in good and reach out to someone or even a mental health worker or the charity Mind or maybe you could call Samaritan's and listen to some friendly advice, someone is always there to help.
Reach out, reach out, you’re not alone
There's always someone who can help.
