Id like to teach the world to live as one as life is to grow
I wish I could prove that hatred is wrong and we must survive tomorrow
I cannot see how bare hands can hurt, can fight and can kill
What we are seeing is so, so wrong. Yet sadly this is real
I'd like to believe that the future holds a way to end this madness
Is this real? Is it a dream for it brings such sadness
We must bond, we must see that there is a thorn in every rose
Aches and pains are hard enough without what the headlines have shown
I want to wake and see the news, saying; No More War!
For too many lives have been lost....
Nothing gained, who can explain, What has this been for
So can we not join, We are all born with One warm heart
We all can feel we all can love. We are all given a life long start
So let the whole world see that weapons are so wrong
We must seek peace, Destroy all weapons. We all must get along
WE all have a God, Yet there is just One God he is there for us all
He wants us to belong
You, Me bring peace, Let the world be free
We can Unite As One
'Speaking words of wisdom'Let It Be "
I'd Like to Teach The World to Sing... by The Seekers
When The War Is Over.... By Cold Chisel
War is over... By John Lennon
Heal The World... By Michael Jackson
Let it be... Paul McCartney
These songs are my favourite songs relating to peace.
One line has been used from a song.
Thank you
