Gun Control

The world needs to wash the blood from its hands.

It's time for the world to make a clean slate

It's time for the world to wash the blood from its hands

It's time for the world to get a grip on gun control

It's time for the world to get guns out of the hands who are hurting the most

adolescents from broken homes

the bullied the forsaken and the lost

It's time for the world to get a grip on gun control

It's time for the world to get guns out of the sight of toddlers who think a loaded pistol is just a toy

The world needs to wash the blood from its hands

Before more innocent lives are needleessly lost

It's time for the world to take notice and stand united to develop positive change

It's time for the world to have the courage to speak up when something is amiss

It's time for the world to heal

It's time for the world to wash the blood from its hands
