Lyrics for Song: Under The Gun
Lyrics for Album: A Moment Of Forever [1995]
(Kris Kristofferson - Glen Clark)
Break a man, break a promise
Break a heart, break a home
Take a long look at the heaven
Gone to hell under the gun.
See the child young and hungry
Growing wild on the run
And he'll die reaching for freedom
He was born under the gun.
From the war see the soldiers
Here they come, here they come
Like a stone over the border
Here they fall under the gun.
Swollen men blind with power
Break the rules one by one
With their lies raising the danger
Of their games under the gun.
No more time, no more chances
No more wars will be won
In the end only the losers
Hold the land under the gun.
Hold the truth like a candle
Let it shine like the sun
On the love that's left to believe in
In a world under the gun.
Break a man, break a promise
Break a heart, break a home
Take a long look at a heaven
Gone to hell under the gun...
