[Peace-discuss] Three Peace Carols for A.W.A.R.E.

[Paul Kotheimer]

Earthly Peace
(to the tune of "Silent Night")

Peace on Earth!  Freedom from fear
for ev'ry child in ev'ry year.
No more sorrows for soldiers lost.
No more starving to cover the cost.
So the world could be.
So the world could be.

Peace on Earth?  Here in our hands
rests the power.  Let us make demands.
No more bombers and no more lies.
No more fire over foreign skies.
Let our consequence be
Peace in Two thousand and three.



A Thousand Generations
(to the tune of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen")

A thousand generations have sent their sons to war,
but we could be the first to say they won't go anymore.
A dream of worldwide peace is what these holidays are for.
It is we who can make this dream come true.  It can come true.
If you want an end to war, it's up to you.



WE LOVE PEACE
(a peace carol especially for kids, with help from Kate and Charlotte
Popetz, to the tune of "Jingle Bells")

I want peace.  You want peace.  Everyone wants peace.
Grandmas, grandpas, moms and dads and little kids want peace, so
Sing out loud, sing out strong!  Say, "NO MORE" to war,
So little kids around the world won't be scared anymore!
