Peace

1. Peace

If all the children together,
‘round the world, joined hand in hand,
would life finally get better?
Would peace dawn in the end? ¹⁾

2. It takes a village

It takes a village to raise a child
and all the love and compassion we can find.
It takes our heart and soul
to reach the ultimate goal:
a world of peace for all mankind. 

3. World of peace

This world of peace is so much more
than the end of a fight or the absence of a war.
This world of peace is only found
when we act by the words of the Sermon on the Mount: 

4. Peacemakers

“Blessed, blessed,
blessed are the peacemakers;
for they shall be called
the children of God. ²⁾
Aren’t we all the children of God?
We are all the children of God.

5. The new ‘we’

I tell you: we
means you and me
and not just me and you,
but all the others too.
To live in peace all together,
you and I must do our part.
Knowing life will just get better,
when peace lives in our hearts. ¹⁾
