Give Peace a Chance
In quest for peace I
knock fromdoor to door,
with a bowl full of bliss--
my pot is not poor.
I ask not for alms but for
arms strong enough
to hold the banner
high...in a terrain so
tough.
If there is true love, there
must be true hate:
feeds and weed grown in
the field of fate.
Twin Tears, easy to
undermine, hard to
understand
...flowing from life's
fountain to a sinking
sand.
The universe revolves
around one sacred Sun,
it will never stand still for
man's gruesome gun.
The hands of peace
shaken, can tame all
terrors;
war of words can never
erase human errors.
Lord, we bow before you
to say gentle prayers,
that you will rule over the
hearts of prank players.
Blame game has made
the lore of love... lame,
teach us to know that we
cannot all be the same.
Open our ears to hear
cheerless children crying,
give us eyes to see the
widows wailing, dying.
Let loose the flood of
compassion in our hearts,
save our soul, lest war
tears our world apart.
Teach our leaders to hold
back Ballistic missiles
that our soldiers may
share some fantastic
smiles.
Make our differences the
instruments of peace;
where there is hatred, let
tolerance increase.
Help us to give peace a
chance to blossom, in the
oasis of love...the
fountain of freedom.
Let the street be filled
with blooms, not bomb;
Let's have more temples
and not... tombs.
