Best Song Peace Poems


Hey, Pete Seeger!

FREEDOM SONG

Do you know the path to freedom,
do you know the road to peace,
do you know the value of truth and wisdom -
let’s bind our hands across the land.

Do you know how to love your brother,
do you know how to understand,
do you realize that you live only once -
let’s fill the world with love and joy.

The world is in a state of sorrow,
poverty, wars and hate abound;
let us stop all of these philosophizing,
let’s sing the song of peace instead.

The world is in a state of sorrow,
poverty, wars and hate abound;
let us stop all of these philosophizing,
let’s sing the song of peace instead.

Can I Be With You

dear love, o' love, love 
can i be with you, o' love?
can i stay with you, o' dear love?
o' love, love, love
you are the perfect key to every heart
((o' love!))
you are the string to every heart
((dear love!))
you are the peace to my heart
((love, o' love!))
your mood is so emotional
but your love is so natural
you are the wood to my art
to carry me by the walls of my heart

can i be with you?
o' love,
wont you leave and gone? 
dear love,
can i talk with you? 
pure love,
can i walk with you? 
soul love,
you are the need to my wish,
(that is love)
you are the feed to my dish,
(such is love)
you are the strength to the weak,
(o' love)
you are the length to the thick,
(endless love)
can i be with you?
o' love

wondering not but,
is my heart there?
or has it faded?
is it beating? 
or has it deflated?
o' how i wish love you were
so close to mine and there
to stone me a love with care
yes, i stare 
with eyes of love and share
love with her that dare
to share,

i ask with no one... 

can i fall in love
with you, o' dear love?
wont you escape my heart?
wont you run away from love?
wont you fade away from love?
come stay with me, o' dear love
come lay with me, not tear love
some blame with you, but care love
come wave with me, share love
you are the perfect key to every heart
((o' love!))
you are the string to every heart
((dear love!))
you are the peace to my heart
((love, o' love!))
come be with me
((o' dear love))

On the Wrong Side of the Door To Paradise

Do you remember the way to eden? 
I haven't been there lately-
inside the whole time
and I'm a thousand miles away
I need a perch to land on, a branch to alight
I'm being tossed about in this whirlwind called life
caught in yet another of life's tempestuous moods
yet theres memory of peace inside
I can see it through the keyhole
in vain I search for the key 
(I used to know)
but I've misplaced it
I should take better care of such things 
before they become lost,
put them back always in the same place again
so I know where to find them
when I need some peace of mind
in times that I am trapped on the other side- 
a bird that flutters its wings uselessly outside the door
able to see inside,and still wondering 
what is holding me back, 
keeping me on the wrong side of the Door to paradise


Hospitable

I greet you with much pleasure, 
I welcome you with clean heart,
Let’s love each other so we can see the Lord, 
Let’s share peace so we can go to heaven. 

         When we show love and kindness to each other, 
         We will have a good life, 
         Wealth and honour. 

I can see the hand of the Lord, my body is so powerful,
Let’s be united so we can knock down Satan, 
Let’s join our hands and deliver others,
Let’s shout loudly so people can hear the truth.

A garden of love, awake as the rain, peaceful as the gray skies, abiding inside the soul who can see… there is a love that grows strong despite the fears that linger on, despite the tears who seem to water the heart with a hope that sings on and on… by poet

Whistling in the wind, a song
Blowing hope through hearts who long,
Stirring joy in those who’ve been wrong,
Inviting the summer sun, the autumn rain,
The gift of a love that will forever silence pain…

Rushing through the thoughts, a light
Glowing, restless as the stars of night
Darkness buried beneath shadow’s fright,
As the bursts of color from the moon’s glow,
Softly echoes all the melodies my heart might know…

Rustling in the leaves, autumn’s smile
Lavender, rust and mahogany – joy to beguile,
Melodies rich with twisted sweetness, in a crinkled pile,
Remembering that love comes through the lushest flavors,
Of peace, hope and grace that won’t melt away, always favors….

Dancing on the prayers of a blessing,
Trembling in silence, not worrying or stressing,
The trees, the sun, the seas can’t be guessing,
Life is a struggle sometimes, but it is still a miracle,
In rhythms of light and dark, happy and sad, nearly lyrical….

She flows, like the rivers and seas, making waters harmonize,
Healing the spirit who struggles with grief, tears in her eyes,
While the rugged mountains surround souls with belief, not lies,
Promising the music that heals and relieves will always bring peace,
Peace comes to souls who hear and believe, Love will never cease!

Take Me Home

Written: August 25, 2025


verse 1:

the night is long and the road is wide,
i've stepped through dark, side by side.
yet in the darkness- a voice has grown,
a gentle call to take me home.

chorus:

take me home, where the light will stay,
through every storm, you will lead my way
when all is gone, and I stand alone,
your love will rise to take me home.

verse 2:

the world may melt, the years may bend
but love outlives the bitter end.
no fright, no night, no tomb of stone
can split the song that takes me home.

chorus:

take me home, where the light will stay,
through every storm, you will lead my way
when all is gone, and I stand alone,
your love will rise to take me home...


Let There Be Peace On Christmas

PEACE on earth this Christmas, eternal peace on earth,
an end to all the hatred, an end to every war,
that we may hug each other, members of the human family -
let there be peace on Christmas, let there be peace on earth.

JOY on earth this Christmas, joy on earth forever,
an end to every tear, an end to all our fears,
that we may meet the morning sun rising in the clear eastern sky -
let there be joy on Christmas, let there be joy to all.

LOVE on earth this season, love on earth all the time,
hands that reach out to hold you, hearts that beat with love,
eyes that glow with compassion, faces showing tenderness -
let there be love on Christmas, let love prevail on us.

Merry, blissful Christmas and Happy New Year too!
may all your dreams come true, this is my wish for you:
may you find the things you seek and keep the friends you make -
let there be peace on Christmas, may it begin with you.

Jehovah Send Your Power

Jehovah send your power , today!
The power of doing miracle , hallelujah!
 Christ Jesus send your strength,  today ! 
The strength of doing your work ,hallelujah!
Holy Spirit come to comfort sick people, today ! 
And people with different  problems, hallelujah!
