How can two people who know each other be led astray so that hatred sets in?
How can two families given the gift of life turn on each other acting like enemies?
People now, come around, let's restore peace,
There's a mother standing on a lonely grave,
Make the fighting cease!

How can the ideals held by two peoples,
be thrown aside abandoned and spurned?
Love is the common law given to everyone,
What did our prophets teach? When will we finally learn?

People now, listen up, let's restore peace!
There's a mother standing on a lonely grave,
Make the fighting cease!

Hate is a monster,
devious and cunning,
fed by remembrance of wrongs done before,
Where is forgiving? Where is our sanity?
Look at our children, they have no need for war!

People now, listen up, love can return!
Hate will only bring us misery, Let's live and learn!

Inside my heart there is hope for humanity,
The Golden Rule will quell the Beast,
What did sweet Jesus say? "Loveth thy neighbors!"
What did Mohammed say? "Inclineth thou to peace!"

People now, come around let us forgive!
We could be a better warrior and let each other live!

It grieves me deep to feel so much tension,
Grudges we keep are weighing us down,
Why can't we let the past go anger melt away?
Joy is spontaneous, Let's come together now!

People now, listen up, let's restore peace!
There's a mother standing on a lonely grave,
Make the fighting cease!

People now, listen up, love can return!
Hate will only bring us misery, Let's live and learn!

People now, come around let us forgive!
We could be a better warrior and let each other live!
