Give Peace a Chance
Human beings must travel back in time
To give peace a chance
We must go back to the time
When there were no confrontations
When there were no fights
When there were no battles
When there was no war
The time machine will tell us
That those were the times
When human beings were scattered
Across the entire globe
There was little contact
So, there was peace
In those good old days
There were no tribes or races
No religions or faith
There were no countries
Or political boundaries
There were no ethnic groups
Or communities or societies
Or castes or outcasts
Or creed or colour
Or greed or ego
There were no
Flags or emblems
Or political groups
Or religious denominations
That divided people
And motivated them
To take up arms
Against one another
We can bring about peace
By working for unity
For freedom
For equality
For brotherhood
Because, anything that divides
Is bad for peace
Give peace a chance
By rising above petty considerations
Let us be human beings
And be humane in our approach
Let us turn ourselves into noble souls
Let us give peace a chance
