No War

Dwell in grief no more
Another dawn will rise
Long for sorrow no more
Let tears never sparkle in your eyes

Shadow of the past lies upon us all
Though this grief dies in one smile
Sincere smile of a child
Within the world rises again another dawn

Sing now for peace
As waves quiver around
Flow with the wind
Fly high seeking purity
Sing now for dreams
Of clear sky, of lands unbound
Dwell here with me
Singing for the world without war

Pray with me
Sing another verse
We long for the same dream
Play another chord
As the world turns
We live for love ever blooming within

Sing the world full of light
Without grief and pain
Sing memory back to life

Without days bloodred
Without cries of dead
Sing the world without dread

Sing in silence now
The world of innocence and awe
Let the song of time and love
Dwell now through the days without war
