Story Behind The Song
In 2006, I was asked to do a three week workshop for Arab children in the Middle East and to see what efforts were being made for people to work together after long periods of distrust and hatred. This song came from that experience and it seemed natural to use the words for Peace in both Arabic and Hebrew as cornerstones for the song.

Lyrics
Salaam, Shalom - Salaam, Shalom
These words mean peace, these words bring hope
Brothers raise your voice with mine , Sisters bring your song
If the people will lead the way, Then our leaders must come along ... singing
Salaam, Shalom - Salaam, Shalom
These words mean peace, these words bring hope
Everywhere we pray for peace, We work for a new start
For miracles to light the way, Giving wings to broken hearts
Salaam, Shalom - Salaam, Shalom
These words mean peace, these words bring hope
The time for mourning now is past , The time for peace is come
The night it was so long and dark, Let's sing to a new dawn
Salaam, Shalom - Salaam, Shalom
These words mean peace, these words bring hope
