[Verse 1]
Love was taken from a young life
And no one told her why
Her direction has a dim light
From one more violent crime
[Verse 2]
She innocently questioned why
Why her father had to die
She asked the men in blue
How is it that you get to choose
Who will live and who will die
Did God say that you could decide?
You saw he did not run
And that my daddy had no gun
[Verse 3]
In the middle of a village
Way in a distant land
Lies a poor boy with his broken toy
Too young to understand
[Verse 4]
He is awaken, ground is shaking
His father grabs his hand
Screaming, crying, his wife is dying
Now he is left to explain
[Verse 5]
He innocently questioned why
Why his mother had to die
What did these soldiers come here for?
If they are for peace, why is there war?
[Verse 6]
Did God say that they could decide
Who will live and who will die?
All my mama ever did
Was try to take care of her kids
[Verse 7]
We are innocently standing by
Watching people lose their lives
It seems as if we have no voice
It is time for us to make a choice
[Verse 8]
Only God could decide
Who will live and who will die
There is nothing that cannot be done
If we raise our voice as one
[Chorus] [x3]
They have got to hear it from me
They have got to hear it from you
They have got to hear it from us
We cannot take it
We have already had enough
Deep in my soul baby
Deep in your soul and let God decide
Deep in my soul
It is up to me and I am still alive
They have got to hear it from us
We cannot take it
We have already had enough
It is going down baby
Just let God decide
It is going on baby
Just let God decide
Deep in my soul baby
We have already had enough
[Chorus]
