Peace

Wars that rage on throughout the world,

Let them not continue.

Let them be ended by the love and kindness of those who speak.

Let peace reign through all lands as we join hand in hand and see the truth.

 

Cease!

 

Let lights like no others shine with the rest and light up the dark.

Let the fear turn to courage and let it stay.

Let all people's hearts songs be sung and let the healthy guide the weak.

 

Cease!

 

Let all love increase,

As we dream of peace,

And let all kindness win any battle.

Let us all work as a team to achieve our wishes and rebuild the future.

 

Cease!

 

Let joy spread through the hearts of the young and old.

And let them hold their good memories inside.

And let them soon rise,

Up like the dawn!

 

Cease!

 

Let all darkness be healed with hope.

For Joy,

Kindness,

Love,

And friendship,

Outlive any rage and hatred.

So united we stand,

Hand in hand,

Let all darkness cease,

And let there be peace.

  • Can't we love?

    Why can’t we all just love each other?

    Why does there have to be so much hate?

    Can we ever learn to trust and accept those who are not like us or believe different things?

  • If only I could

    If only I could stop doubting myself,

    If only I could stop being afraid,

    If only I could be happier instead of secret depression,

    If only I could get better, and peace would stay,
