| Verse 1 |
When I was quite young, I saw a strange sight.
It was no dream or trick of the mind:
A woman who seemed to be made out of light
Though her features were clearly defined.
She stood in the tall grass near a lake that warm night.
Her words felt so true and so kind. |
| Chorus |
Will you live for peace?
Will you sing for peace?
May your heart find peace. |
| Verse 2 |
Then war came about and everyone said
We were right and I really should go.
But pain and destruction and lives drowned in red
Was the terror I soon was to know.
And after a bad fight as they gathered the dead,
I heard her voice crying so low. |
| Chorus |
Will you live for peace?
Will you sing for peace?
May your heart find peace. |
| Verse 3 |
Now my friends and I say that wars must be banned
For the sake of all life everywhere.
But others tell us that we don't understand--
They're fighting to make the world fair.
But as bombs fall on people at some general's command,
We're chanting these words like a prayer. |
| Chorus |
Will you live for peace?
Will you sing for peace?
May your heart find peace.
Will you live for peace?
Will you sing for peace?
May your heart find peace. |
