Peaceful World
In a peaceful world everyone will see,
all the love and light, happiness and joy
giving thanks and praise, to mother nature’s gifts
in a peaceful world will be free.
With the strength of love, we will rise above
and with open hearts, all the hate will fade
and we’ll face our fears and we’ll overcome,
in a peaceful world, we’ll be free.
In a peaceful world, were all is one
with help, we will all rise up
walking hand and hand, everyone will see,
in a peaceful world we’ll be free.
