Give Peace a Chance

Human beings must travel back in time To give peace a chance We must go back to the time When there were no confrontations When there were no fights When there were no battles When there was no war The time machine will tell us That those were the times When human beings were scattered Across the entire globe There was little contact So, there was peace In those good old days There were no tribes or races No religions or faith There were no countries Or political boundaries There were no ethnic groups Or communities or societies Or castes or outcasts Or creed or colour Or greed or ego There were no Flags or emblems Or political groups Or religious denominations That divided people And motivated them To take up arms Against one another We can bring about peace By working for unity For freedom For equality For brotherhood Because, anything that divides Is bad for peace Give peace a chance By rising above petty considerations Let us be human beings And be humane in our approach Let us turn ourselves into noble souls Let us give peace a chance
