Shouts ring out
People shout "I'm hit, Lord, I'm hurt"
Another round has left the gun
Another battle has begun
Maybe it's all a bad, bad dream
Like an old movie on a worn out silver screen
Ceasefire, that is my desire
Ceasefire, that is my desire, on the world
They say "Be brave and don't be afraid"
"You're livin' in the land of the free"
But we're under the gun, which ain't much fun
And it's not my idea of equality
If someone asked I was safe and sound
Say, who you're kidding, boy, you better hit the ground
Ceasefire, that is my desire
Ceasefire, that is my desire, on this world
Ceasefire, that is my desire
Ceasefire, that is my desire
If you want this world to be a better place
Stop your gun, start lovin' everyone
I want you to make this world a better place
Oh yeah, you can do it
You and me, we can do it
Let's get together
We'll make it a better place
