I'D LOVE TO LIVE IN A PEACEFUL WORLD


I’D LOVE TO LIVE IN A PEACEFUL WORLD

I’d love to live in a peaceful world,
Where love and care abound,
Where there is trust and compassion
The whole wide world around.

I’d love to live in a peaceful world
When children could run and play,
Where the fields were filled with flowers,
Not land mines every day.

I’d love to live in a peaceful world
Where no one took drugs,
Where we could safely walk the streets,
And have no fear of thugs.

I’d love to live in a peaceful world
Where people loved and cared,
Where children slept so peacefully
And Mothers were not scared.

I’d love to live in a peaceful world
Where Fathers did not go to war,
Where no-one was ever hungry
And calm waters washed our shore.

These are my wishes and my hopes
For our tired and sorry world,
May we all very soon see
Freedom’s peaceful flag unfurled.
