lyrics

5. THE TIME FOR PEACE HAS COME

1
The time for peace has come, for healing at last.
Let former foes find common ground, put time-worn hatred past!
So many precious lives, forever stilled---
Now let all hearts and minds with harmony be now and always filled!

We were meant to live in peace.

2
The time for peace has come, to open our eyes,
and see our true kinship with all of humankind---
to celebrate all that which makes us one,
and magnify the good which lies in each one’s heart;
true vict’ry will then be won!

We were meant to live in peace.

3
May strength and courage abundant be given to all
who work for reason and understanding; may all heed the call
to cherish each life, and live in sympathy,
to plan for a bright future with confidence, for every race and creed.

We were meant to live in peace.


Lyrics copyright 1996 by Linda K. Williams
Music by Johannes Brahms: "The White Dove"
