No More Fighting
Harmony Beyond Conflict: Tevin Campbell's Call for Peace
Lyrics
There's something you and I should fear
There's a looming threat that concerns both of us
Something everyone should hear
It's essential for everyone to pay attention to this
You hold a ticket in your hand
You possess a passageway
Straight to nowhereland
Leading to a place of emptiness or lack of direction
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
A situation where escape or concealment isn't possible
A place where no man can survive
An inhospitable space where survival is impossible
When you destroy what God has made
When you damage what's been created by a higher power
No one will be saved
No one will be rescued or spared
Where do you come from
Where do your origins lie
Is it the same as me
Are they similar to mine
What do you run from
What are you fleeing from
Something you cannot see
Something that eludes your perception
Where are you going to
Where is your destination
What are you here for
What purpose do you serve here
If there's no peace in your heart
If inner tranquility is absent
There must be war
Conflict becomes inevitable
No more fighting
No more engaging in conflict
Lay down your guns
Disarm yourselves
This is a war
This conflict cannot be resolved through fighting
That can't be won
It's a futile battle
There was a promise that you made
There was a commitment you once made
A life you could have saved
A life you could have preserved
But nothing hurts more than the truth
But the painful reality hurts the most
When you break the rules
When you violate established principles
You said I never had your back
You claimed I didn't support you
But what did you expect
What were your expectations?
A lie to cover up the facts
A falsehood to conceal the truth
And lose all my respect
And lose all credibility in my eyes
Where do you come from
Where do your origins lie
Is it the same as me
Are they similar to mine
What do you run from
What are you fleeing from
Something you cannot see
Something that eludes your perception
Where are you going to
Where is your destination
What will you find there
What awaits you there
Are you just traveling down a road
Merely traversing a path
That leads you nowhere
That leads to a purposeless existence
No more fighting
No more engaging in conflict
Lay down your guns
Disarm yourselves
This is a war
This conflict cannot be resolved through fighting
That can't be won
It's a futile battle
No more fighting
No more engaging in conflict
No more warring
No more engaging in war
No more hurting
No more causing pain
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Expressing a sense of relief or release
