Lyrics

Peace Begins with Me and You

Verse 1
We come from every nation, every walk of life
Carrying our stories, through joy and pain and strife
But there’s a light that guides us, no matter where we roam
And deep inside, we all long for home

Pre-Chorus
No more hate, no more fear
Time to draw each other near
Raise your hands, lift your soul
We can heal — we can be whole

Chorus
One voice, one song
Lifting up where we belong
One world, one dream
Love is louder than it seems
So sing it high, and sing it true
Peace begins with me and you
Yes, peace begins with me and you

Verse 2
They say the world is hurting, but still I see the light
Shining in the kindness, breaking through the night
Every step toward mercy is a victory we win
Come on, let the healing begin

Pre-Chorus
No more hate, no more fear
Time to draw each other near
Raise your hands, lift your soul
We can heal — we can be whole

Chorus
One voice, one song
Lifting up where we belong
One world, one dream
Love is louder than it seems
So sing it high, and sing it true
Peace begins with me and you
Oh yes, peace begins with me and you





Bridge
Lay it down!
All your sorrow, all your pride
Lift it up!
Let the love be our guide
Shout it out!
Till the world can hear the sound
Peace is rising up from the ground

Final Chorus
One voice, one song
Lifting up where we belong
One world, one dream
Love is louder than it seems
Come on and sing it loud, let the truth shine through
Peace begins with me and you
Yes, peace begins with me and you

Outro
Peace… begins… with me… and you…
