about

I hope you'll enjoy our new peace anthem!

lyrics

Verse 1
Peace is a choice we make
With every step we take
With every thought we think
Every word we say
And we can make the choice
To use our beautiful voices
And hearts and bodies and minds
Peace is the way

Verse 2
All you people far and near
It’s time to hold each other dear
For we all have a heart inside
That’s basically good
And when we remember to care
And love and listen and share
You know we change the world
Peace is the way

Chorus 1
Sometimes peace comes when you’re quiet
Or being still, or feeling calm
Sometimes peace means no more fighting
Or when the anger’s done and gone
Sometimes it’s speaking truth with kindness
And dancing wild your heart’s own song
All the time it’s strong and loving
And it’s been right here inside us all along

Verse 3
For we are all the same
Made of sun and dirt and rain
Made of wind and breath and sky
We are the earth
And if we want to thrive
You know we gotta touch it all with our mindfulness
With every step we take
Peace is the way

Chorus 2
Sometimes peace means making new friends
Welcoming hearts and holding hands
Peace means we include everyone
In our circle, in our land
And all around the world we’re singing
Peace means we’re all family
Peace is strong and peace is loving
And it’s showing us the way to be free

Bridge
Peace is
Friendship
Caring
Harmony
Reconciliation
Truth
Listening
Peace is
Justice
Compassion
Non-harming
Peace is
Patience
Understanding
Community

Tag
Let’s walk in peace
Talk in peace
Act in peace
Breathe in peace

Let’s work in peace
Play in peace
Relate in peace
Let’s be in peace

Commit to peace
Speak out in peace
Stand up in peace
Resist in peace

Rise up in peace
Protect in peace
Reach out in peace
Believe in peace…
Peace is the way
