Let Love Begin Again
Stop the killing. Stop the pain
Open your hearts, Let love begin again
Violence in the movies
Violence on TV
Violence in the home
Between you and me
Wake up you sleeping people
Wipe the dust from your eyes
Wake up your neighbors
Can’t you hear the anguished cries?
Don’t listen to the commands
That rage in your head
Open your hearts take a stand
Before all of love is dead
