Shanti

Verse 1
As I look out of my window
The world is peaceful
The earth all blanketed in snow.
A silent night glittering with dreams.
of what tomorrow could be
Chorus:
Shanti, Shanti means peace
People have sought it since time began
Pace,pax , shalom, salam
Please bring peace to our land
Shanti shanti Amen
Verse 2
All around me
Lights shine brightly
On candles ,rooftops and trees
And as the hearth fires burning
Deep in my heart there's a yearning
Verse 3
For a world without war,
Where children are safe
And people care for each other
I pray we find our way
To live together and say
Chorus:
Shanti, Shanti means peace
People have said it since time began
Pace,pax , shalom , salam
Please bring peace to our land
Shanti shanti Amen
Bridge:
Now I see it begins with me
God give me strength ,
help me plant new seeds
Chorus:
Shanti, Shanti means peace
People have sought it since time began
Pace,pax , shalom or salam
Please bring peace to our land
Shanti shanti Amen
Oh, peace, peace, peace on earth.
