A SONG FOR PEACESONG OF SHALOM
Let the sun come up again
and give the morning light.
the purest prayer that you can find
can't change our deadly plight.
Let the sun rise in the east,
and light the morning sky
The finest prayers will not revive
the ones who had to die.
He whose light has been snuffed out
can't taste your bitter tear.
Nothing you can do or say
can bring him back to here.
And those whose flames have been put out,
lie buried in the earth,
Bitter wails won't wake them up,
cannot give them rebirth.
Nobody can raise us up
from our cold dark graves.
Don't try to help us
with your cheers of victory
or your songs of praise.
No one can restore us now,
return us from the grave.
And here there is no use for songs of victory
and praises for the brave.
So only sing a song for peace;
don't whisper us a prayer.
Better to sing a song for peace.
Let shouting fill the air!
Chorus:
So go and sing a song of Shalom -
don't whisper timid prayers.
Go out and shout a song of Shalom -
so everyone can hear.
Let the sun shine through again
to let the flowers grow.
Don't look backward to the past;
let those who left you go.
Let the sunshine weave its way
through rainbow blooms of flowers.
Don't look back towards the past -
the dead no longer ours.
Let your eyes look up with hope,
not through a rifle sight.
Sing a song, a song for love,
not for another fight.
Lift your eyes with hope of life,
not sighting through a gun.
Sing a song of love and joy
and not of battles won.
Don't tell me the day will come;
work for it without cease.
It's not a dream, so
inside every city square
let out a cheer for peace!
Don't just say "A day will come";
go out and bring that day!
It's not a dream. In all the city streets and squares,
sing "Peace is on its way!"
Come on and sing a song for peace;
don't whisper us a prayer.
Better to sing a song for peace.
Let shouting fill the air!
Chorus
