PEACE SONGS
 Rise Up For Peace                   Rise Above            Sing With One Voice

I am only one small drop, adrift in this great sea.
But what I do will ripple through the world because of me.
You have a choice to use your voice, so c'mon and sing along.
You might not think you can be heard, but together we are strong.

Rise up, and sing with joy,
We'll join in life's great dance.
Rise up, and tell the world,
Let's give peace a chance.

You seem to be much different than me,
How you think and speak and see.
But we'll put our trust in togetherness,
Live in perfect harmony.
No one is an island, that's what they say,
Need each other to make it through.
But we can do it, you and I,
It's a wonder what peace can do.

Rise up, and sing with joy,
We'll join in life's great dance.
Rise up, and tell the world,
Let's give peace a chance.

And then our fears will wash away.
The world will see a brighter future,
With each and every day.

Rise up, and sing with joy,
We'll join in life's great dance.
Rise up, and tell the world,
Let's give peace a chance.

Rise up, and sing with joy,
We'll join in life's great dance.
Rise up, and tell the world,
Let's give peace a chance.

Let's give peace a chance.

If just today, one tiny voice
Sings out so it can be heard,
If one act in kind today we shared,
Could be felt all around the world,
Would you join us and spread the word? 

Rise above our fears and trials,
With love we can find the power.
Rise above, join hearts and voices,
Together we’ll all find peace. 

If peace the flower, and love the seed,
How rich could our garden grow?
If we work today in harmony,
Then a future of peace we’ll know,
And the joy in our hearts will show. 

Rise above our fears and trials,
With love we can find the power.
Rise above, join hearts and voices,
Together we’ll all find peace. 

It’s never easy, to keep our dreams alive.
Tear down the walls of hate, so peace and love survive.
Together we must try. 

Rise above our fears and trials,
With love we can find the power.
Rise above, join hearts and voices,
Together we’ll all find peace. 

Rise above our fears and trials,
With love we can find the power.
Rise above, join hearts and voices,
Together we’ll all find peace. 

Together we’ll all find peace.

Sing With One Voice

I am a tiny piece of the universe
I am the little voice inside each boy and every girl
But even the start of the tiniest part can grow
to change the world

You never know power that lies within
The difference that is made 
from the strength of one
Just let your light shine
To reach out to mankind
The spread of peace has begun 

Chorus:
Sing with one voice
Together we can change tomorrow
Share in one world
Standing hand in hand and live in unity
Together we’ll show
Together we’ll learn and grow as one family 

Sing with one voice
Together we can change tomorrow
Live with one love
Open up your hearts and let each other in
Together we’ll care
Together we’ll share and live in harmony
We’re living in peace 

It doesn’t matter ‘bout your hair or the clothes you wear
It doesn’t matter how you think or color of your skin
Just close your eyes and see what’s inside
The heart of the person within
It’s time to make the future begin today
It’s time to stand together and face all the fear
Have faith we will fly
Into one perfect sky
We’ll help to dry every tear 

Chorus:
Sing with one voice
Together we can change tomorrow… 

When everyone lends a helping hand
Everywhere becomes home
And when it is all said and done
You’re never alone 

Chorus:
Sing with one voice
Together we can change tomorrow…
