24 Hour Prayer

I would like to challenge the world to have one day of peace Something this great land of ours really and truly needs For one day of peace can we show each other a little human kindness Just leave all the bad memories behind us as we say a prayer in silence For one day of peace can we say no to anger and hello to love for 24 hours Just think with our hearts instead of always using our guns For one day of peace can we truly be honest not as Americans or politicians Just one single person on this earth that can see what the problem is For one day of peace can you imagine such a enormous accomplishment to only show each other love instead of sin and violence For one day of peace can we think of togetherness instead of so much separation be more humanitarian and help heal this nation For one day of peace are we willing to ignore hatred and embrace human acceptance We have one chance at life and I'd rather enjoy it than spend the rest of my life trying to forget it
