This song was written as an anti gun, pro peace song. It tells a story of someone trying to talk a friend down from doing something stupid with a gun. I've never owned a gun, or been in this kind of situation. I did live in Texas and I have a lot of friends who are very pro gun. I don't think I will ever be able to change their minds, but this is just my expression of my anti gun stance.
lyrics
Fire away straight to the target, but is this really where you wan'a be.
Just for today, please put that gun away, i don't have to tell you what's write and wrong.
Just be at peace, just be at peace, oh please look deep inside your heart and soul.
Caus I don't believe, no I can't believe, no I can't believe this is happening.
No I don't believe, no I can't believe, no I can't believe this is really you.
"Solo"
Won't you listen to me, please listen to me, I swear there is a better way.
Don't be afraid, Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to try and understand me.
Just walk away, Just walk away, you don't need a gun to be a bigger man.
Caus I don't believe, no I can't believe, no I can't believe this is happening.
No I don't believe, no I can't believe, no I can't believe this is really you.
