SONG OF PEACE

I’ve heard of the wars of evil

I’ve seen the ravagesof man I’ve read of the primeval

I have followed the Ten Command

I have marched to the music of othersI

have saluted our flag’s flare

I’ve respected my brothers

I have bowed my head in prayer

Ihave shed a tear for all who decease

I have thanked God that love was there

And now I write a song of peace

To veterans a call a voice to care

Singing we shall overcome

Under one sun

One flag OneGod

Wars be done

That we can only live as one

If we can touch each other’s hand

Reach out touch the tips that heals

For it is the brotherhood to band

Around beliefs and ideals

By touching each other and being one

We are united together we stand

We are the same under the sun

We live in freedom of this land

We worship the same God

We love for the same reasons

We cultivate the same sod

We live through the same seasons

And having read the poet’s lines

We are the same in the Maker’s eyes

Yes, I’ve seen the signs

As all come upon the earth with the same mirth

About our energy source and how we must not cease

And we must live together in happiness

Imploring the credence of my song of peace

And attempting to climb out of the abyss

To have lived in God’s eyes at all

Then and only then will the family of man

Standing for peace or together we fall

Be at Peace and make a stand

Against wars

Against power and closed doors

Against unfettered Government

Against control of resources and where they went

Against the song for war that promotes decent

For in peace, we stand In the grace of what’s right

Sharing the prosperity from the land

With no guns to fight

Singing we shall overcome

Under one sun

One flag One God

For we can only live as one

 Wars be done

Peace has won

A Song of Peace

Throughout history, humanity has witnessed countless warsand the devastation they bring. The struggles and ravages caused by mankind echo through time, serving as a somber reminder of our past. Guided by ancient wisdom and moral principles such as the Ten Commandments, we strive to build a better future.

I have marched to the rhythm of others, proudly saluting ournation’s flag and honoring my fellow citizens. In moments of reflection, I bow my head in prayer, showing respect for those who have gone before us and shedding tears for those lost.

Grateful for the presence of love, I now raise my voice in a song of peace—a call to care for our veterans and a plea forcompassion.

With the refrain “We shall overcome,” I envision a worldunited under one sun, one flag, and one God. The aspiration is clear: let wars end so that we may live as one. True unity is possible only when we reach out to each other, extend healing hands, and band together in the spirit ofbrotherhood, grounded in shared beliefs and ideals.

By embracing each other and standing as one, we form aunited front. Beneath the same sun, we share freedom and worship the same God. Our love springs from common reasons, and we tend the same land through changing seasons.

Our energy and resolve must never falter; together, we mustchoose happiness and heed the message of peace. Escaping the depths of division, we seek to live in accordance with divine guidance. Only through unity will the family of mankind stand strong, championing peace for all.

Now is the time to stand against war, unchecked power,secrecy, and the excessive control of resources. We must reject the call to conflict and instead promote decency and grace. In the pursuit of peace, we share the prosperity of our land without resorting to violence, ensuring that the values of justice and right prevail.

Let us sing together: “We shall overcome.” Under one sun,one flag, and one God, we affirm that living as one is our highest calling. May wars cease and peace prevail, for when peace has won, humanity truly thrives.
