[Intro]
Oh, ya, ya, ya, oh
Time and time again, we cry, we pray
Seeking a better way, a brighter day
[Verse 1]
Mother's tears, brothers' pain, sisters' fears
Lost in a world where hate appears
War's shadow darkening the sky
When will we learn, when will we try?
[Pre-Chorus]
We've got to make a stand, hold on to hope
Break the chains that bind, find a way to cope
For every life that’s lost, for every tear
We must find peace, erase the fear
[Chorus]
Peace, oh, peace, what we need to see
A world where love's the melody
Leaving behind the scars of war
Opening hearts to something more
[Bridge]
Can we rise above the pain?
Heal the wounds of yesterday
See the human in us all
Break the cycle, hear the call
[Outro]
Our future's in our hands today
Choose hope, choose love, find a way
Oh, ya, ya, ya, oh
Peace comes from the heart's true glow
