Lyrics by Flex Mathews and Stevie Marco are as follows:

"The key is Love. When you think about Love, you think about the solution to all the worlds problems.

I wanna share a few words about the angels we lost, Life's so priceless we couldn't cover the cost. She stand militant in the face of the gun. Fighting for the unjust and never backed off. Round the world to Newtown they migrate. Teaching young kids yo that was the mind state, she lived it. Victoria Soto her name travel when I heard she died for the children I was shattered.

How could something like this go unchallenged by me. Perhaps the government wanna make a change see. Now its on us to spread the word like the breeze of how they live free Coast to coast for the whole world to see with L O V E sprinkle in a lot of peace, now that's life and that's love and they one; and when you got both of those; we don't need no gun. You don't need no gun.

Evil pull strings on the puppet soldiers to take the young lives just to get it over. Shouldn't a fired that gun. Ahh, Why you pull the trigger? Why they had to die? Hey evil why you act, shoulda lowered your gat. From peace and love to dead on the ground in the distance you hear the rifle's sound.

Ahh, You took the youth from us. Time to own up.

American hero named Victoria died on a campus we all should know. Children and protectors rise to the heaven from; Newtown god oh no.

The majority of those who died today were children. Beautiful little kids between the ages of five and ten years old; so our hearts are broken today.

Nationwide revolt lets rise up now, man woman child say NO HELL NO! Obama give comfort make a lot of promises, all they wanted was a Christmas toy. Ahh

Yea. Parent I be that. Protector I be that. As long as there's just no more I be that. Peace I be that. The love you see that. So be that.

You monster you monster you took the youth from us. First you steal lives then devolve into nothing. Still we stand firm in the face of hate. Still we stand firm in your face and it feels great.

The Military Industrial Complex to feed a hungry lion they stock them a war. Don't send the youth to the classroom to die for, I stand up and fight when they cross my shore. American hero named Victoria died on a campus we all should know. Children and protectors rise to the heaven from Newton cant take it no more.

No More

Its time to spread the peace and love worldwide let it permeate the Earth wipe the tears from the mothers eyes.

No More

No more dying in the streets no more cries ya'll its time to make a change we got no reason not to try

No more.
