The Dawn of Peace

In every heart, a silent plea,
For love, for truth, for liberty.
No chain should bind, no voice be stilled,
No dream denied, no blood be spilled.

From every shore, the echoes call,
That freedom’s light must shine for all.
Each child born beneath the sun,
Deserves a world where wrongs are none.

Human rights — our common thread,
For all who live, for all who bled.
No color, creed, nor place of birth,
Can change the measure of one’s worth.

Peace is not a whispered prayer,
But hands that heal, and hearts that care.
It blooms where justice finds its place,
And hatred yields to love’s embrace.

So let us rise, both strong and kind,
With hope and courage intertwined.
For when all people stand as one,
The dawn of peace has just begun.
