lyrics

CHORUS: (Χ4)
Fighting is not the solution.
Try conflict resolution.  
 
V1:
Stop,
Cool off,
And take a deep breath.

When you get angry,
Don’t lose your head.

Tell each other
The way you feel.

Step back
And chill.

Don’t scream,
Don’t shout.

Use your words
To work it out.
 
CHORUS: (Χ4)
Fighting is not the solution.
Try conflict resolution.

V2:
Listen to each other.
Find out what you both need.

Stand in each other’s shoes.
Practice a little empathy.

Make a plan you both like
And go for it.

No problem ever gets solved
By fighting over it.
 
CHORUS: (X4)
Fighting is not the solution.
Try conflict resolution.  

BRIDGE: (2X)
I’m going to use my I-Statements  
I’m going to use it
I’m going to use it
 
V3:
I feel…
I feel so sad

When I…
 When I’m singing all alone

Because I need…
Because I need community

And could you…
And could you sing with me?

BRIDGE:
I’m going to use my I-Statements  
I’m going to use it
I’m going to use it

CHORUS: (X4)
Fighting is not the solution.
Try conflict resolution.

Oh, stand up!
Stand up for my brother
Oh, stand up!
Stand up for my sister
Oh, stand up!
Stand up for each other
Oh stand up!
Oh stand up!

Oh stand up!
Stand up to fight wars no more
Oh stand up!
Stand up whether rich or poor
Oh stand up!
Stand up for each other
Oh stand up!
Oh stand up!

Find a solution
Try conflict resolution (X4)
