Hear us, the bloodied children who cry out in pain,
There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
Hear us, the grieving mothers. Stop, those with power consumed by hate.
There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
We, tortured victims of death and destruction, implore the greedy profiting from death and war, feel our tears, hear our prayers,
There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
You politicians smitten by power, pride and lies, cast them aside, know in your hearts that...
peace is the way.
All who have lost love, find it in peace.
Peace is love’s way.
“There is no way to peace; peace is the way” A.J. Muste
