PeaceKeeper (Pickup)

Don’t shoot my baby, won’t you put your gun away
Are you a gentle peacekeeper, or a blood-thirsty killing man?

Are you fighting for something that you believe in
Or killing for something that someone told you
All the beautiful, innocent little faces
And you show them all that this is what life holds for them
     Don’t shoot my baby, won’t you put your gun away
     Are you a gentle peacekeeper, or a blood-thirsty killing man?
You look so sure, imposing with your big machine gun,
But inside of your conscience there is a battle raging
You send a letter a week to console your loved ones,
But what about the humans sleeping on the same ground as you
     I beg you, Don’t shoot my baby, won’t you put your gun away
     Are you a gentle peacekeeper, or a blood-thirsty killing man?
Gently wont you lend your hand, save the blood of another man
Softly wont you lend your eye, save another widow’s tear
Gently wont you lend your hand, save the blood of another man
Softly wont you lend your eye, save another orphan’s tear
