Let us all stand for peace across the earth,
let every shadow cast by war lose worth,
let every child enjoy a childhood bright,
let every soul both give and feel love’s light.
Must darkness triumph through another’s spite?
Must goodness fade and yield without a fight?
Do not touch peace, let it forever thrive;
why should the innocent pay so others’ hate survives?
No war has ever brought true good to humankind,
not in the past, nor now, nor in the days we’ll find;
nor will it bring a better dawn tomorrow’s way,
so let us guard the sun that lights each newborn day.
The innocent were never meant to bear the cost,
nor shed blood-stained tears for ambitions dark and lost;
this weary world is thirsty, hungry still for peace,
while people wage their wars and life’s brief moments cease.
People, cease creating wars that choke the human soul,
for they can tear down walls of love that once stood whole;
you entered this world with empty hands, unclothed and free,
and empty-handed you shall leave,why sow such misery?
Do not strike against one another,
do not become servants of the dark and suffer;
serve love and peace throughout the earth instead,
and never steal a single child’s bright years ahead.
Let peace live on, extinguish every war,
do not hate, do not judge, do not wound anymore;
be truly human,what is power worth in the end?
Without it you arrived, without it you shall transcend.
