PEACE

THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE

BY: T. D. DUFF, TONKA BAY, MINNESOTA

There's a spirit in the heart of the fighter

It's the quest for freedom that they strive

To bring mercy and justice

Peace and honor to our lives

For they see

Oh they see

For they see

Oh they see

There's a love in the heart of a woman

That only the purest of truths can release

It is a truth so very simple

A truth of the love for peace

Love for peace

Oh love for peace

Love for peace

Oh love for peace

There's a need in the soul of a man

It's a longing for what we all know

For the song that will bring us together

And allow for our spirits to grow

Let them grow

Oh let them grow

Let them grow

Oh let them grow

There's a look in the eyes of our children

That pleads why we're subjected to this

It's a look of despair and discomfort

That as parents we can no longer dismiss

Can't dismiss

Oh can't dismiss

Can't dismiss

Oh can't dismiss

There's a longing in the heart of the people

For the end of the violence and war

It's destroying the love in our country

And we must demand that it be no more

Be no more

Oh be no more

Be no more

Oh be no more
