Ceasefire Songtext

von for KING & COUNTRY

How do we save a life pointing fingers?
How can we end the fight this way?
When blame is the truth we're preaching?
And lies are what we're believing?
No one ever wins when the goal is to settle the score

One by one we will call for a ceasefire
One by one we will fight for a better end
One by one we could rewrite the headlines
Standing side by side
One by one, love is building an empire
One by one, reaching out to our enemies
One by one we will make it to the finish line
Standing side by side
Ceasefire

I will be the first to say I'm far from perfect
But grace was made for those who don't deserve it
So easy to cast the first stone
It's harder to search your own soul
No one ever wins when the goal is to settle the score

One by one we will call for a ceasefire
One by one we will fight for a better end
One by one we could rewrite the headlines
Standing side by side
One by one, love is building an empire
One by one, reaching out to our enemies
One by one we will make it to the finish line
Standing side by side
Ceasefire

Teach us how to live humbly, love unconditionally
Transform our hurt into hope
Grant us Your peace

Teach us how to live humbly, love unconditionally
Transform our hurt into hope
Grant us Your peace

One by one we will call for a ceasefire
One by one we will fight for a better end
One by one we could rewrite the headlines
Standing side by side
One by one, love is building an empire
One by one, reaching out to our enemies
One by one we will make it to the finish line
We're standing side by side
Ceasefire
