Lyrics
Listen to my friend (a song for peace by Laurence Wright)
Chants
Peoples of the world, Will you not join me?
Preaching the gospel of humanity
Shoulder to shoulder, Linking hand in hand
Working together, to build the Promised Land
RAP
1st Verse
Listen to my friend he has something to say
And his words will sound like a sweet bouquet
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 hands and all join in
2nd Verse
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 rich as any man can be
Living with my friend eternally
Bridge
Hate and fear will lead us to war and
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 and
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 (Listen, to my friend)
Live in peace!
3rd Verse
Who is your friend? I hear you all ask
Well it's not a secret and there is no mask
He's all around us he is everywhere
He's 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
4th Verse
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
And all that he asks is 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"
Coda
Remember
Just one kind act performed each day
Will make your life richer,
much richer, in every way.
