Peace Songs


We Want A World



by Gypsy, on the Album Enchantress


Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

John Lennon


Prayer of Peace

Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the silent stars
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace to the quiet earth,
May peace, may peace
May peace fill your soul.
Let peace, let peace
Let peace make you whole.

by Lisa Thiel on the Album Prayers for the Planet



Peace Song
(to the tune of "Rose")

Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace,
Wars have been and wars must cease
We must learn to live together
Peace Peace Peace.

The Peace Song

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.
With God as creator, family all are we.
Let us walk with each other in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.
With every step I take, let this be my joyous vow.
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally,
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin

The World Peace Song - Shalom, Asalaam

Since The Dawn Of Time, We’ve Been Waging War.
And Hiding Our Love, Behind Locked Doors.
Using Fear To Dominate And Control.
We Have Been Fighting Against Our Very Own Soul
Now We Are On The Brink Of A New Frontier,
And The Power Of Peace Is Becoming Clear.
It’s Going To Take All Our Courage To Make A New Start.
It’s Going To Take A Revolution Of The Heart.

Chorus

Shalom, Alackhem (“Live In Peace” In Hebrew)
Asalaam a-ley-khoom (“Live In Peace” In Arabic}

It's a new kind of freedom
We've never known before
A deeper understanding
Because we know a lot more
We just keep going
We don't look back
Stay focused on the light
And you'll stay on track
It's a new kind of love
Stronger than before
Flowing like a river
Right to the core
We're finding our freedom
We're finding our peace
We'll find it together
And the wars will cease

Jaya Lakshmi, Om, Deva Prio & Jeremy Roski

Light and Dark

Bring some light into the darkness,
bring some darkness to the light
As we dance among the shadows
flickering in black and white
All things dark are not just evil,
all things light are not just fine
Can we learn to bless our difference
-- God in your face, God in mine.
