Peace
Hey! you comrades hear my cry
I am subdued in woe and senseless violence
Thoughts of woe that trigger my mind
But I know of peace as the antidote
Put on the robe of selfless deeds and pure thoughts
Then hold my hands let’s walk along
And let our bond be our strength
Though downtrodden, weak and our hearts are weary.
Hey! you cadets my brothers be
Burn your guns and egos now
And watch the flames release our peace
Hey, you beautiful daughters of the sun
Spit out those words that wound your heart
And let the ears that care listen.
Hold my starving hands and walk along
Adorn yourselves in this blissful and hopeful march
Sweetened by the beauty of unity
Hail you noble hearers of my cry
Revamp my strength to fight this battle.
To crush these hurdles that made us part,
To crush these egos and hateful thoughts,
That seized me from my comrades.
The wind has whispered its message
And the birds have sang it in their hymn,
Peace is the antidote.
Throw away those unholy thoughts to the winds
And rejoice in the splendor of beautiful peace
Denounce violent extremism
Then the darkness of tomorrow shall be brighter than today’s light
Hail you noble hearers of my tidings
Harness my cry and instigate my hope.
