When the Guns Go Quiet

[Verse 1]
A child draws a house in the corner of a page
With a yellow sun that war can’t erase
Outside the window, sirens cry
But in her world, no one has to hide
A soldier folds a letter in the dark
Keeps a photo close to his heart
He whispers names like a silent prayer
Hoping someone’s listening somewhere
[Pre-Chorus]
And in the distance, echoes fall
But we’re still dreamin’ through it all
[Chorus]
When the guns go quiet, will we hear the truth?
All the broken voices, calling me and you
If we lay down anger, if we let love lead
Maybe peace is closer than we believe
When the night is over, and the smoke is gone
Will we remember what we’ve done?
Or will we finally see
What it means to be free
[Verse 2]
A mother hums a lullaby so low
Trying not to let her fear show
Footsteps shake the fragile ground
But she sings like hope is still around
A stranger shares his last piece of bread
No words spoken, just a nod instead
In the ruins, kindness grows
In the places nobody knows
[Pre-Chorus]
If we could see through each other’s eyes
Would we still draw all these lines?
[Chorus]
When the guns go quiet, will we hear the truth?
All the broken voices, calling me and you
If we lay down anger, if we let love lead
Maybe peace is closer than we believe
[Bridge]
No flag is worth a mother’s tears
No victory erases years
Of silence, scars, and empty rooms
Or names we lost too soon
But if one hand reaches through the fire
And one voice rises higher
We could change the ending
We could start again
[Final Chorus]
When the guns go quiet, let it not be late
Let forgiveness open every gate
If we choose tomorrow over yesterday
Maybe peace will find a way
[Outro]
A child redraws the world again
No lines, no war, just sky and friends
And somewhere deep inside that view
Is a quiet dream… for me and you
