Ceasefire, That Is My Desire

by The Rance Allen Group

on Hear My Voice (1983)

Shouts ring out
People shout "I'm hit, Lord, I'm hurt"
Another round has left the gun
Another battle has begun

Maybe it's all a bad, bad dream
Like an old movie on a worn out silver screen

Ceasefire, that is my desire
Ceasefire, that is my desire, on the world

They say "Be brave and don't be afraid"
"You're livin' in the land of the free"
But we're under the gun, which ain't much fun
And it's not my idea of equality

If someone asked I was safe and sound
Say, who you're kidding, boy, you better hit the ground

Ceasefire, that is my desire
Ceasefire, that is my desire, on this world

Ceasefire, that is my desire
Ceasefire, that is my desire
If you want this world to be a better place
Stop your gun, start lovin' everyone
I want you to make this world a better place

Oh yeah, you can do it
You and me, we can do it
Let's get together
We'll make it a better place
