The world is torn apart
Peace is so evasive
Lost is hope; love is
Astray in this maddened world
A world of ruthlessness and inequity
A world of forgotten peace and unity.

A world needs a heart
That throbs for peace
A heart that beats
Not of hatred but of love divine
A mind that thinks nothing
But goodwill to mankind.



Why don't we give this world a chance?
A chance for us to live with peace
Peace that would give every child
A breathe of freedom without distress
Freedom to let them taste
A life of full of dreams and space.

We cry a peaceful world
The world cries for our love untold.
