  • In glory a soldier I stand 'til the end
    A golden revolver I hold in my hand
    The trigger that I never squeeze
    The war that brings me to my knees

    I'm tired of fighting for peace
    When I am alone on the front line
    I need you to stand next to me

    Baby ceasefire, fire, fire
    Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
    I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
    So please ceasefire, fire, fire
    Ceasefire make it stop

    Drop down your defenses I'm raising my flag
    This fighting is hopeless we need this to end
    It's going too far don't know where it began
    We're hurting each other and I can't pretend

    I'm trying to help you to see
    The casualties that we both lead
    It's all so unnecessary
    Can't you hear me scream

    Baby ceasefire, fire, fire
    Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
    I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
    So please ceasefire, fire, fire
    Ceasefire make it stop

    Uh uh uh ooh
    Uh uh uh ooh
    Uh uh ooh
    Uh uh ooh

    Rolling out
    White flag
    I surrender
    Screaming out
    Make it stop
    We can do better

    Pain and hurt
    Living in fear
    Wasted energy
    In the end
    What is it worth?
    What is our legacy?

    Rolling out
    White flag
    I surrender
    Screaming out
    Make it stop
    We can do better

    Pain and hurt
    Living in fear
    Wasted energy
    In the end
    What is it worth?
    What is our legacy?

    Follow me now
    I'm gonna announce
    Somebody help me
    I need you now
    Why can't you see
    Gotta believe me
    Fighting for peace
    Here release
    Won't you remove me
    I'm on your side
    Swallow your pride
    You can confide in me
    Army afoot
    Rise of the sun
    Shining for all to see
    Enemy's left
    Victory's won
    No negativity
    We can be free
    Free as the king
    Who won my destiny

    Baby ceasefire, fire, fire
    Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
    I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
    So please ceasefire, fire, fire
    Ceasefire make it stop Writer/s: ALEXANDER JUNIOR GRANT, CANDICE PILLAY, CHRISTINA AGUILERA
