Story behind the song
Something from within motivated this. Perhaps it was the persistant news of war and terror. Perhaps its just because I have reached a time in life when the remaining years are condsiderably fewer than those that have passed.
Lyrics
Peoples of the world Will you not join me? Preaching the gospel of humanity Shoulder to shoulder Linking hand in hand Working together to bring the promised land Listen to my friend he has something to say And his words will sound like a sweet boquet He wants you to be his dearest friend In this he's sincere, there is no pretend He wants us all to love one another To treat our neighbour as our brother It doesn't matter the colour of his skin Just hold out your hand and all join in Listen to my friend he'll tell you what to do There's nothing to fear nor misconstrue Go in peace don't live by the sword And my friend will give you his solemn word If you care for all precious life And carry a smile in the face of strife You will be as rich as any man can be Living with my friend eternally Hate and fear will lead us to war Death and destruction will reign all our lives Lift up your eyes see the light and live together in peace Hate and fear will lead us to war Death and destruction will reign all our lives Lift up your eyes see the light and live together in peace Live in peace, Live in Peace, Live in Peace Who is your friend I hear you all ask Well it's not a secret and there is no mask He is all around us, he is everywhere He is the one who will listen to your prayer We have many names for this friend We may believe but we can't transcend He is the compassion in your soul He is the angst you cannot control He is the sun you feel upon your face The gentle touch of a warm embrace He is all the things that are good in you But all that he asks is that you let it shine through And if all this you don't comprehend Listen to these words of my very good friend Just one kind act performed each day Will make your life richer in every way Remember, just one kind act performed each day Will make your life richer, much richer, in every way.
