Never was the world in such a need of peace
And never has contentment been so hard to find
So many men reaching out their hands
Our brothers and sisters in so many lands
If ever kindness was needed
Then it's crying out to us 'the time is now!'

Chorus:
I want the peace
I want the love
For all the world
People of joy with children of hope
For all the world
Father of light
I'll be a light the You shine through
You are the peace
You are the hope
For all the world

What's it gonna take before we show some charity?
Compassion and mercy, the way it's meant to be
Who'll take the time for the ones who truly need
And pray for a nation
That's out on the street
What man is greater than his brother
When in Jesus' eyes we're all the same?

Repeat Chorus

Learn a song of freedom
And teach it to our children
Let the pipes of peace ring out
And pray the grace of God will lead the way

Repeat Chorus

You are the peace
And You are the joy
You are the love
And You are the hope
For all the world
