Only God Can Save My Soul

Only God can save my Soul.

When we were young
We were so strong
And we thought nothing would go wrong
So, we sang our beautiful song.
Basking in the sun
Dancing in the rain.
Until Danny pulled the trigger of the gun
And things were never the same again.

Damn the man that made the gun
He has caused us so much pain.
We have lost count of those who have been slain
So, I’m sorry baby, I’ve got to run.

Only God can save my soul.

Let me give you my kisses and my roses
For nobody needs anymore-bloody causes
And I don’t need any bloody gun
I don’t want any more heartburn.
How can we live in peace?
When others are being cut to pieces
How can I stop weeping?
When others are still dying.

Baby can’t you see that I’m not to blame
The guns messed up the world and what a shame
The guns have spoilt all our fun
So, I’m sorry baby, I’ve got to run.

Only God can save my soul.
