Lay down your guns
I come in peace
No need to run, my friend,
into the trees
We've been through this so much before
But still we get it wrong
Lay down your guns
and stand up strong.
Lay down your guns
and feel no regret
Life is too short, my friend,
best we forget
No matter how we rise and fall
And how our love is torn
We'll stand up high
above the storm.
And still our passion calls
And the juices fall like rain from the sky
We have to understand we're the flame
That feeds our desire
God knows we must survive
Lay down your guns
and hold on tight
We'll prove the world is wrong
and get it right
No need for you to worry now
the best is yet to come
Lay down your guns
and stand up strong.
And though the cut is deep
We can heal it,
trust me and keep
Your spirits high
It should be easy now
that we've talked it over
And God knows we have to try
Lay down your guns
just don't say goodnight
We'll prove the world is wrong
and get it right
And even in your darkest dreams
Some things you can't forsee
Lay down your love
lay it all on me.
Lay down your guns ...
I come in peace
No need to run, my friend,
into the trees
We've been through this so much before
But still we get it wrong
Lay down your guns
and stand up strong.
Lay down your guns
and feel no regret
Life is too short, my friend,
best we forget
No matter how we rise and fall
And how our love is torn
We'll stand up high
above the storm.
And still our passion calls
And the juices fall like rain from the sky
We have to understand we're the flame
That feeds our desire
God knows we must survive
Lay down your guns
and hold on tight
We'll prove the world is wrong
and get it right
No need for you to worry now
the best is yet to come
Lay down your guns
and stand up strong.
And though the cut is deep
We can heal it,
trust me and keep
Your spirits high
It should be easy now
that we've talked it over
And God knows we have to try
Lay down your guns
just don't say goodnight
We'll prove the world is wrong
and get it right
And even in your darkest dreams
Some things you can't forsee
Lay down your love
lay it all on me.
Lay down your guns ...
