| Never was the world in such a need of peace
|
| And never has contentment been so hard to find
|
| So many men reaching out their hands
|
| Our brothers and sisters in so many lands
|
| If ever kindness was needed
|
| Then it’s crying out to us «the time is now!»
|
| I want the peace, I want the love
|
| For all the world
|
| People of joy with children of hope
|
| For all the world
|
| Father of light
|
| I’ll be a light that You shine through
|
| 'Cause You are the peace
|
| And You are the hope
|
| For all the world
|
| What’s it gonna take before we show some charity?
|
| Compassion and mercy, the way it’s meant to be
|
| (Now tell me, who)
|
| Who’ll take the time for the ones who truly need
|
| And pray for a nation that’s out on the street
|
| What man is greater than his brother
|
| When in Jesus' eyes we’re all the same?
|
| And I want the peace, I want the love
|
| For all the world
|
| People of joy with children of hope
|
| For all the world
|
| Father of light
|
| I’ll be a light that You shine through
|
| 'Cause You are the peace
|
| And You are the hope
|
| For all the world
|
| Learn a song of freedom
|
| And teach it to our children
|
| Let the pipes of peace ring out
|
| And pray the grace of God will lead the way
|
| I want the peace and I want the love
|
| For all the world
|
| People of joy with children of hope
|
| For all the world
|
| Father of light
|
| I’ll be a light that You shine through
|
| 'Cause You are the peace
|
| And You are the hope
|
| For all the world
|
| You are the peace and You are the joy
|
| You are the love and You are the hope
|
| For all the world
|
| (You are the hope, You are the peace)
|
| (You are the hope for all the world) |
