I want an end to every war
For souls to matter more than land
For bombs and men to fall no more
I want no blood upon my hand s
But if I live and take no stand
So peace be what I live and breathe
And pledge within my children
And love come conquer my own hate
That steals the promise from a life
For empty souls to have their fill
And mercy to be satisfied
Or should I disregard the least
To store the bread for my own feast
Dear hope, release it from my grasp
Until for nothing more I ask
Save love to be my dearest friend,
And when the sacred beginning begins,
when light erases all we have been,
will it be clear to us all only then
How nothing matters but love
This blindness that has found my eyes
And hail it with you to the tree
And show to me the paradis
remove me from all thoughts of me
And if I've been a noisy gong,
O Savior, let me sing again
which is the one true song
In you alone, let me begin
