Song Description

What happens if we dream BEYOND the achievement of peace? How would life look on the other side . . . on the day AFTER peace?

Lyrics

VERSE:
The singer sings of peace
A world without soldiers, guns, or police
But why does the song stop there
Is the promise of peace as much as we dare
Once we succeed, what happens then
What if peace were the means, instead of the end

CHORUS:
I want to wake up THE DAY AFTER PEACE
When mothers and children can run freely through the streets
Nations won?t celebrate others? defeat
Respect will become the world's centerpiece
And all of God's creatures will feast
THE DAY AFTER PEACE

VERSE:
The poet shares her soul
Writing of love as the final goal
But why does the poem stop there
Is there a limit to the love that we can share
Hearts open wide, what happens next
Can we use our love to care for the rest

CHORUS:
I want to wake up when love is a given
When hurting each other is strictly forbidden
Our fears and our failures no longer hidden
Mistakes of the past sincerely forgiven
And no one by greed will be driven
When love is a given

BRIDGE:
We have all that we need, we just don?t know it
Let the words of the singer and the poet
Point the way to a better day

CHORUS:
I want to wake up THE DAY AFTER PEACE
When mothers and children can run freely through the streets
Nations won?t celebrate others? defeat
Respect will become the world's centerpiece
And all of God's creatures will feast
THE DAY AFTER PEACE
