5. FIGHT FOR HUMANITY
Intro:
Well, there's been a lot of suffering and pain caused by wars over the years.
Now, don't you think this world would be a much better place if we fought together for the good of all?
We could use all our energy and resources, too, to fight against the problems of our world.
So, declare war on people? No, I've got a better plan; give a listen, then join on in.

(1) Let's all declare war against hunger!
Let's fight with all our might for food a-plenty for all.
REFRAIN: Give us wisdom, not a gun, and let's fight till the war is won.
Together let's work and fight for humanity.

(2) Let's all declare war against poverty!
Let's fight with all our might for abundance for all. REFRAIN

(3) Let's all declare war against drug abuse!
Let's fight with all our might for healthy bodies and minds. REFRAIN

(4) Let's all declare war against ignorance!
Let's fight with all our might for education for all. REFRAIN

(5) Let's all declare war against injustice!
Let's fight with all our might for rights and freedom for all. REFRAIN

(6) Let's all declare war against prejudice!
Let's fight with all our might for truth and dignity for all. REFRAIN

(7) Let's all declare war against diseases!
Let's fight with all our might for health and energy for all. REFRAIN

(8) Let's all declare war against homelessness!
Let's fight with all our might for homes and shelter for all. REFRAIN

(9) Let's all declare war against war! (Yes, against war!)
Let's fight with all our might for peace and safety for all. REFRAIN
(END WITH:) Yes, together let's work and fight for humanity.

IF DESIRED, HAVE SINGERS CREATE THEIR OWN VERSES:
Let's all declare war against __________!
Let's fight with all our might for ______________ for all.
REFRAIN: Give us wisdom, not a gun, and let's fight till the war is won.
Together let's work and fight for humanity.

The Nonviolent Social Change ministry of On Earth Peace is rooted in the philosophy and leadership of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Much more than simply "not doing violence," nonviolence is an active, positive, reconciling force that seeks to build a hopeful future.
