Benjamin Tissell - Middle of the Day lyrics
Artist: Benjamin Tissell
album: Man of Elements (Deluxe)
Who is gunning down my brother?
Who is shooting at my sister?
When we were young
All the monsters fled the morning sun
And only good guys were packing guns
When did nightmares start to come
In the middle of the day?
Who will break the bloody cycle?
Speak their mind without an automatic rifle
For the pain?
Slowly breaking, taking aim
Making headlines for the day
Senseless violence yet again
In the middle of the day
Jesus, Jesus, won't you hear us?
Though we don't know what to say
Speak a little louder to us
The message of the Lord:
"Peter, put away your sword"
It's time to end the war
In the middle of the day
We are calling for a ceasefire
To keep the body count from climbing any higher
There's a way
Little choices, day to day
To believe in what we pray
And for love to have the final say
In the middle of the day
Who is shooting at my sister?
When we were young
All the monsters fled the morning sun
And only good guys were packing guns
When did nightmares start to come
In the middle of the day?
Who will break the bloody cycle?
Speak their mind without an automatic rifle
For the pain?
Slowly breaking, taking aim
Making headlines for the day
Senseless violence yet again
In the middle of the day
Jesus, Jesus, won't you hear us?
Though we don't know what to say
Speak a little louder to us
The message of the Lord:
"Peter, put away your sword"
It's time to end the war
In the middle of the day
We are calling for a ceasefire
To keep the body count from climbing any higher
There's a way
Little choices, day to day
To believe in what we pray
And for love to have the final say
In the middle of the day
