Our time is now to hope and pray
For peace on earth, this very day,
Where man must turn the other cheek
If he's to show, he's strong not weak,
To put an end to sorrow and war
To let God's gift of love through the door.

Sadness enters all who lets it in
Sorrow and hatred will also begin
To change it all and make a start
We must all learn to play our part
Show kindness, love and sympathy
Caring and sharing so differently.

No more war and no more pain
We must all live in harmony again
Give out sunshine bright and warm
Calmness, strengthen, no more stor
I look to God to answer my prayer
I know and feel Him always there.

So come on one, come on all
Put down your arms and answer the call
March forward to our victories end
It can be done, while we are friends
Love God, love man, love life itself
Let's all unite and come off the shelf.
