Let There Be Peace

Verse 1:
In a world without hope
under darkened skies
lost forever is the precious sparkle
in our children's eyes

Fear of terrorist attacks
catching a deadly flu
global warming could end it all
no matter what we do

Chorus:
So let the killings cease
let freedom be released
give love a chance
hold out your hands
Please let there be peace

Verse 2:
Images of wars
and ethnic genocides
seen with all the stark reality
technology provides

We learn how to hate
We learn how to fight
under the cover of our sacred flag
we all unite

But what is the cost
what price is paid
are we destroying our very future
to fight this crusade

Chorus:
Let the killings cease
let freedom be released
give love a chance
hold out your hands
Please let there be peace

Verse 3:
I dream of a world
with no poverty
color and race are one
there's just equality

Where no child
is ever left behind
and countries work together
for the sake of mankind

From deep in our hearts
we have to rise above
make this world a better place
we can all be proud of

Chorus:
So let the killings cease
let freedom be released
give love a chance
hold out your hands
Please let there be peace

Give love a chance
hold out your hands
Please let there be peace
