Paceshalomsalaamnamast'e

Wise men from the East, They followed a distant Star.
Answered the call of peace, They traveled from afar...

All People They Want Peace
Paceshalomsalaamnamast'e

In Belfast women march, To call for an end to war,
they pray for peace to start, And bombs to blast no more.

All People They Want Peace
Paceshalomsalaamnamast'e

From Iraq to Kosovo, Sudan to East Timor
The world is full of woe, The people shout "no more!"

All People They Want Peace
Paceshalomsalaamnamast'e

The parents cry and mourn, For children lost to hate
But must revenge be borne? Is it really now too late?

All People They Want Peace
Paceshalomsalaamnamast'e

A baby in the hay, He brings a promise of love
Forgotten to this day, Will we follow the hawk or the dove?

All People They Want Peace
Paceshalomsalaamnamast'e

Peace on Earth, goodwill to all
Peace on Earth, goodwill to all
Peace on Earth, goodwill to all.

All People They Want Peace
