lyrics

I heard the voices telling me
That the world grew still
His voice was yelling kill that man
He’s got the whole world in his hands
So I shot him down

The woman screamed, I heard her dreams
She was running quick
I turned her way, he said kill her today
So she fell to the ground
I shot her down

My daughter pulled my hand back slow
Erase those sounds
Erase that soul
And find the light
But his thoughts raced
My hands had made
Thousands of mistakes

I turned the gun, I shot the sun
And all hell fell
The trigger made, the shot to save
Them from his voice.
I shot him down
I shot me down

She grasped my hand
I felt her light
Her voice was sweet
Her voice it cried

Daddy it’s alright
Daddy it’s alright

In the dark grew night
I finally saw the light.
