about

As an artist partner with Preemptive Love Coalition, I had the immense privilege of seeing their work firsthand when I visited Iraq in the fall of 2015. Their founder Jeremy Courtney’s book Preemptive Love largely shaped my heart and birthed this song. Please visit PLC's website to learn more about their work. There IS love. There IS hope.

lyrics

You’re lonely
But you want to be alone
You’re tired
But you don’t want to sleep
Cowering in the corner
Ready for a fight
Thinking everyone
Is on the other side

Everything in you wants to fight
War won't make this right
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms

It’s hard for you
To find a common ground
Fighting to defend
Your own bit of ground
You raise your voice
Trying to be heard
But all your efforts
Are only making noise

Everything in you wants to fight
War won't make this right
Lay down your arms
Lay down your arms

You sit here
Trying to grow thicker skin
So when your hit again
It won’t sink in
There’s little to lose
And so much to gain
Raise the flag, stop the pain

Turn your swords into shovels
Turn your spears into hoes
Instead of fighting
Cultivate growth

There is love, there is hope
Lay down your arms

Love has the last word
