PEACE AND FREEDOM

Peace it comes not from a gun, it is an inner call
To have and hold from this day forth, it is within us all

For freedom too, it's the result of such sweet inner peace
Let's take a hold and be so bold, it's time for such release

The dove, the symbol of that love and peace for us to be
It's gentleness of hope and joy flies in our sanctuary

This sanctuary the sacred place with gentle flame of light
Within ourselves this flame of hope is ever burning bright

Let's shine our light of peace and joy forever to mankind
The truth that sets us free from all the chaos let us find

Let's end the past of war and hate and join the march of love
Tis onward, upward, t'wards the light that's shining from above

To light the way to bring us all to one in harmony
With olive branch and love for all there's peace so let it be

The peace which passes understanding now is understood
Experienced by everyone who wishes that it could

So let the dove of peace break out from all our sanctuaries
Let's flood the world with such a love beyond the birds and bees

Freedom then and trust and joy will be no longer hidden
The world will be at One at last no longer to be bidden

So let's create the perfect world, a paradise at best
So let it be, let's celebrate for it will manifest

O Peace, O Peace what joy you bring when all begin to laugh
To see the joke we've lived each day, believed on your behalf

The gun is gone, the wars are o'er, for peace is now prevailing
The world is one at last, at last, it is no longer ailing

So peace is our's, now it's time - no longer to pretend
The Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end
