My Peace Banner
I live for peace and I live for love
Can we but only compromise
And please but don't deny the hope
That lives inside each young soul
I wish a day of compassion and care
And let no horrid screams in the night
The doors will be of no need for everyone is a friend
And I will welcome ye' in
For the wind blows hard and scatters the leaves
And there will be no blanket to hold
There will be no foreigner to any land
For you are a child as everyone else
Who shall not shelter under sand
Shall there not be sounds crushing your eardrums
And unneeded death of young and old
For I believe in a peace banner
That can shelter all from cold
