Verse 1

Peace is a choice we make

With every step we take

With every thought we think

Every word we say

And we can make the choice

To use our beautiful voices

And hearts and bodies and minds

Peace is the way

 

Verse 2

All you people far and near

It’s time to hold each other dear

For we all have a heart inside

That’s basically good

And when we remember to care

And love and listen and share

You know we change the world

Peace is the way

 

Chorus 1

Sometimes peace comes when you’re quiet

Or being still, or feeling calm

Sometimes peace means no more fighting

Or when the anger’s done and gone

Sometimes it’s speaking truth with kindness

And dancing wild your heart’s own song

All the time it’s strong and loving

And it’s been right here inside us all along

 

Verse 3

For we are all the same

Made of sun and dirt and rain

Made of wind and breath and sky

We are the earth

And if we want to thrive

You know we gotta touch it all with our mindfulness

With every step we take

Peace is the way

 

Chorus 2

Sometimes peace means making new friends

Welcoming hearts and holding hands

Peace means we include everyone

In our circle, in our land

And all around the world we’re singing 

Peace means we’re all family

Peace is strong and peace is loving

And it’s showing us the way to be free
