“Peace Over Fire”

Lyrics

Intro (spoken over beat) Yeah… We’re talking about fire, rage, and the cost of it. But also how we flip it… to peace. Verse 1 (rap) Headlines bleeding through the screen, it’s the same old scene, Shots fired at a voice, at a dream. Families breaking, communities shake, We can’t keep running on the fuel of hate. Politicians talk tough, but we feel the burn, Kids in the crowd got nowhere to turn. Fear feeds anger, anger turns loud, But peace is the power that can move the crowd. Chorus (sung, melodic, catchy) Peace over fire, love over hate, Turn the heat down before it’s too late. Raise your signs high, march in the light, Peace is the way we win this fight. Verse 2 (rap) Anger’s real, don’t pretend it’s not, But we choose the path, yeah, we choose the plot. Revenge writes stories that never heal, But unity’s louder—that’s how change feels. Take the pain, put it into words, Take the rage, flip it into verbs. Sing it, rap it, protest in the street, But violence just knocks us off our feet. Chorus (repeat) Peace over fire, love over hate… Bridge (spoken/sung) Count to ten when the storm is near, Talk it out, let the world hear. Peace is protest, peace is strong, Peace is the beat we all belong. Chorus (final, layered vocals, bigger beat) Peace over fire, love over hate… Peace is the way we win this fight. Outro (music drops, slight pause before last 2 lines, final hit on “call” with chant echo) Yeah… peace is the anthem, That’s how we stand tall. (1–2 bar instrumental break) America, it’s now or never, So let’s answer the damn call!
