Where Lies Peace

Where lies peace, we constantly demand.
Do not go eager to another war,
We hold the peace in the palm of our hand.
Though revenge and jealousy are close at hand,
We crave, we talk, we recommend and more,
Where lies peace, we constantly demand.
We worship money, answer its command,
In the fight for it, we become a whore.
We hold the peace in the palm of our hand.
It’s alway peace or war for evermore!
Do not let the wartime bands stir your core.
Where lies peace, we constantly demand.
We ever pray for peace within our land,
The answer lies within our hearts, in store,
We hold the peace in the palm of our hand.
Will we ever learn to shake each other’s hand
For gentle ways, respect, dignity and more?
Where lies peace, we constantly demand.
We hold the peace in the palm of our hand.
We hold the peace in the palm of our hand.
