about

Let's Not Start a War is about overcoming the human tendency to judge others filtered through our own trauma lens, when in reality we can never really understand the complexities of someone else’s situations and experiences. It’s about our desire to run away when things get uncomfortable, we don't like what we see and how we create conflict as a result of our preconceived ideas and judgements that lead us to blame or fault the ‘other’.

lyrics

LET’S NOT START A WAR
Lyrics & Composition Danni Parsons

I let you in before I was ready to talk
I don’t even know who you are
I didn’t invite you here to trespass on my heart
I didn’t even ask you here to start

I can see that you’ve filtered me through your own eyes
That perspective isn’t necessarily wise
Until you’ve walked a mile in my shoes
Maybe think before you choose...

CHORUS
To start a war
Start a war
Start a war

In the end we just wanted to run
From the opportunity to change
But, underneath it all, when the intention is good
Sometimes we gotta stay where it hurts

BRIDGE
Let’s not start a…
Let’s not start a…
Let’s not start a…
Let’s not start a…

CHORUS
...War
Start a war
Start a war
Start a war
Start a war
Start a war
Start a war
Start a war
