A Song For Peace
by Derek McCorkell - Copyright © Derek McCorkell 2002

Verse 1
A song for peace.a song for freedom
To be whatever we all want to be
A song for joy,a plea for wisdom
A right to life free from tyranny
For violence just breeds violence,the bullet and the gun
Never really is the answer for me or anyone
We're all longing for the day when we can find our sweet release
So let's lift our voice and sing out loud
Our song for peace

Verse 2
A cry for mercy,a call for life
Give the love inside our hearts a chance to grow
Let's work together,let's banish strife
The choice is ours to make let's make it so
We can put the past behind us,forge the way ahead
Pray we see the error of our ways,and turn to peace instead
Forget the bomb,forget the gun,we need no more deceased
For what the world is looking for is peace

Chorus
Sing it loud ,sing it clear
So the world out there can hear
Once and for all let the fighting all be done
Let the dove of freedom fly
In a peaceful clear blue sky
Let all wars be over
Now the reign of peace begun

Repeat chorus 2 times and end
