Stop the Violence

Build Don't Destroy

I remember a time
When my people would not kill our own
We walked with love in our hearts
My country was not at war

Now those days are long gone
Why can't we just get along
Live and let live in peace
Kindness is strong fighting is weak

Build Don't Destroy
Stop the Violence
Build Don't Destroy
Stop Killing Our Own
Build Don't Destroy
Don't feed the fire

Build Don't Destroy
Give us peace in the streets
Peace in the streets
We want peace in the streets

My people, Dear people
Talk together, Don't kill each other
Those others have red blood and loved ones too
We're all the same they feel the pain like we do

Build Don't Destroy
Stop the violence
Build Don't Destroy
Stop killing our own
Build Don't Destroy
Don't feed the fire

Build Don't Destroy
Give us peace in the streets
Peace in the streets
We want peace in the streets

Build! Don't Destroy!
Stop The Violence!
