lyrics

I am for peace
I am for peace
I am for peace

(These verses are only examples of what you and your circle can make up):

I see fear and sadness,
people weary of the world
I don't know what to say but I will try

Terror and violence
far away and close to home
Ammunition, words and hands-- Where do we stand?

News is streaming in
Can't ignore the suffering
Evil only needs good people to be silent (MLK)

Kitchen table, council meeting,
hallways, sidewalks of the world
Texting, talking, meeting someone,
I open my hand and reach out

Angry at myself, sometimes call myself bad names
Outrage in the mirror
Let forgiveness start

Poison in the air, garbage in the soil and sea
Feel the planet strain
I'll do what I can today

There are people we don't like
Ones who rub us the wrong way
We don't have to be best friends, but find a way to share the world
