Raise Your Words (Shanti Peace Prayer)

Raise your words, not your voice
It's the rain that grows the flowers, not the thunder
We all have a choice
I think it's time we do our best for each other
If not now, then when?
We can only pretend for so long

If we can just be kind
All the rest will fall behind
And we will find who we're meant to be
I know fear and anger's voices all too well
But if we can step back
And let the wave of love swell
We will find the peace we seek

oṁ dyauḥ śantir
antarikṣaṁ śantiḥ
pṛthivī śantir
āpaḥ śantir
oṣadhayaḥ śantiḥ
vanaspatayaḥ śantir
viśve devāḥ śantir
brahma śantiḥ
sarvaṁ śantiḥ
Śantir eva śantiḥ
sā mā śantir edhiḥ
oṁ śantiḥ śantiḥ śantiḥ

If we can just be kind
All the rest will fall behind
And we will find who we're meant to be
I know fear and anger's voices all too well
But if we can step back
And let the wave of love swell
We will find the peace we seek

If we can just be kind
All the rest will fall behind
And we will find who we're meant to be
I know fear and anger's voices all too well
But if we can step back
And let the wave of love swell
We will find the peace we seek

Raise your words, not your voice
It's the rain that grows the flowers, not the thunder
We all have a choice
You know it's time we do our best for each other
It's you and me
Let's set our own hearts free and let it be
