When Will It Stop

When I was a boy I walked to school, I went all alone and thought it was cool
I played in the yard with my best friend, The days seemed like they’d never end
But those times are gone and we have to face, All the problems that take place
Choice and creed don’t make it right, No one should have to lose their life

When will it stop? When will the hurtin’ go away
What will it take to make you see it just ain’t right
What will you do? ‘Cause I’m beggin’ you today
I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore, When will it stop

Our schools and homes are upside down, The fear and anger is all around
It’s time to choose another way, let love in and let it stay

When will it stop? When will the hurtin’ go away
What will it take to make you see it just ain’t right
What will you do? ‘Cause I’m beggin’ you today
I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore, When will it stop

The future is right here in your hands, If you want to change it take a stand

When will it stop? When will the hurtin’ go away
What will it take to make you see it just ain’t right
What will you do? ‘Cause I’m beggin’ you today
I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore, When will it stop

When will it stop
Ooooooooohhhh
When will it stop
