We Shall Sing Peace...
We shall Sing Peace
Heartfelt hand in hand please
Our world this should cherish a life friendly
So shall be friends
To see rise in ascents
Our life, our lands one in this world lovely
Why fight, why war
Angry captives what for
Let us be pledged to peace and peace alone
We shall promise
That we will never miss
To see, this world can thrive on peace alone
We shall so join
In nexus to enjoin
By oath our earth, our world be united
No gore, no loss
Heaven on earth be gross
We shall sing peace all in one united
