Peace starts with me
I been praying for peace
Hoping and waiting. Hmm!
But this hate keeps growing inside of me:
Won't I let it go!
And I keep seeing the other as the enemy:
I and they;
The dividing line keeps thickening
If it stays this way, the peace I pray for
Will always be far away, far away
If everyone were like me, the peace I pray for
Will always be far away, far way
If everyone were like me, the peace I pray for
Will always be far away; yes, far way
Peace starts with me!
(I must work to bring about what I pray for)
It starts with me
Peace starts with me!
(I must work to bring about what I pray for)
It starts with me
So, help me God
Why am I losing hope?
Why so doubtful? Hmm!
Did I shine my little light
Before cursing the darkness?
Oh! Would that I brought
A little joy where I met sadness!
Can't I be the first to console
Be the first to love, first to understand? Hmm!
What have I done to bring about peace?
What did I do to bring about peace?
What shall I do to bring about peace? Heh!
If it stays this way, the peace that I pray for
Will always be far away, far away
If everyone were like me, the peace I pray for
will always be far away, very far, far away
Peace starts with me!
(I must work to bring about what I pray for)
It starts with me
Peace starts with me!
(I must work to bring about what I pray for)
It starts with me
So, help me God
Hoping and waiting. Hmm!
But this hate keeps growing inside of me:
Won't I let it go!
And I keep seeing the other as the enemy:
I and they;
The dividing line keeps thickening
If it stays this way, the peace I pray for
Will always be far away, far away
If everyone were like me, the peace I pray for
Will always be far away, far way
If everyone were like me, the peace I pray for
Will always be far away; yes, far way
Peace starts with me!
(I must work to bring about what I pray for)
It starts with me
Peace starts with me!
(I must work to bring about what I pray for)
It starts with me
So, help me God
Why am I losing hope?
Why so doubtful? Hmm!
Did I shine my little light
Before cursing the darkness?
Oh! Would that I brought
A little joy where I met sadness!
Can't I be the first to console
Be the first to love, first to understand? Hmm!
What have I done to bring about peace?
What did I do to bring about peace?
What shall I do to bring about peace? Heh!
If it stays this way, the peace that I pray for
Will always be far away, far away
If everyone were like me, the peace I pray for
will always be far away, very far, far away
Peace starts with me!
(I must work to bring about what I pray for)
It starts with me
Peace starts with me!
(I must work to bring about what I pray for)
It starts with me
So, help me God
