Get Up and Say

It takes a great person to get up and say….

It takes a great person to look beyond the hatred, anger and pain
And say…

Once the seed of hate is planted, it continues to grow
And the only way to stop it is to know
That you gotta let the anger go

It takes courage from a lot of people to say…
We don’t want to kill today

It takes a great leader to get up and say…
We’ll get what we want in a peaceful way

And if the anger and the rage give a meaning to life
And the soul thrives on conflict and strife
Don’t you know that there’s no happy ending
Why do people want to self destruct

It takes a great person to get up and say…
“I lay down my sword and I’m walking away.”
“Let’s make tomorrow a new day.”
