"The Lamp of Peace"
Think the world a common home, enemies there'll be none
Forget all malicious thoughts and strangers there'll be none
What have all the dead taken ? They've empty handed gone
Those who shared love on earth have been blessed with love
Leave the portals of your heart ajar in brightness it will smile
Sow the seeds of love and life will sprout throughout the clime
Cleanse the heart ot all that's ill and violence will escape
Who would be an outsider if the world as yours you take ?
We've wasted enough blood but now, this must never be
How man can be an enemy of man, isn't this hard to see ?
How long are we going to shed, blood of our own selves ?
Who will nedicate our wounds when we fight ourselves ?
As human beings we all must be in unity firmly bound
Kissed by the touch of humanity spreading love around
Our house crumbles when we fight, in ruin the nation lies
Our country- mother of us all, her heart in anguish cries
Laying down our hateful arms, together we must solve
Light the lamp of peace to build anew with strong resolv
