Lullaby for Peace
Shhh…don't listen, don't listen, to what they say.
They try to deceive us, distract us,
let them do what they may
Stay calm, deep breaths, as they foster unrest.
They want a reaction; they’ll give it their best
We are not enemies though we look not the same.
They try to confuse us, amuse us, promise us fame
Don't listen, don't listen to what they say,
We are not foes though we come from away.
Hush now darling, don't lay awake remunerating
on your fate
Have some faith in your fellow man
and trust that God has a plan
and if I die before you wake
know my life I did not take
So, don't listen, don't listen to what they say
Peace through love can be ours one day
if only we don't let them have their way
