Lay down your sword and gun
Lay down your soldier's arms
Got to make it right
All we've done
Is to war and fight
On and on

Lay down your sword and gun
Lay down your soldier's arms
You don't wanna die so far from home
But to take a life, destroys your soul

Precious life
Precious life
Precious life

Lay down your swords and guns now
Lay down your swords and guns now
Lay down your swords and guns now
Lay down your swords and guns

Precious life
Precious life
Precious life
Precious life
Lay down your swords and guns now
Oh, lay down your swords and guns now

Precious life, precious lights are on
Precious life, and precious lights are on
