In a peaceful world everyone will see, all the love and light, happiness and joy giving thanks and praise, to mother nature’s gifts in a peaceful world will be free. With the strength of love, we will rise above and with open hearts, all the hate will fade and we’ll face our fears and we’ll overcome, in a peaceful world, we’ll be free. In a peaceful world, we will all be one with the will to help, we will all rise up walking hand and hand everyone will see, in a peaceful world we’ll be free.

Month goes by, we wonder why, a year feels like a day. Coo coo clocks, that never stops, the time that flies away Ask us now what’s true, the answers nothing new Yesterday’s have gone away and We’re still missing you When the sun goes down and the moon lights the night Memories of you, are so bright. We will carry on, the way you showed us to, Year and days may fade away, but we are still missing you. We’ll be strong and carry on, but we’re still missing you Though you’re gone, your spirits strong, and we’ll keep missing you

Slow down take a breath and really feel, be kind to yourself take time to heal recognize all the joy that’s in your life Be true to the one you want to be, un- wined, open up your eyes and see, recognize all the love that’s in your life Sun beeze breathe out the light that’s in your heart to the world and you’ll find peace Move swift to the life you want to live be free with the kindness that you give, recognize all the light that’s in your life Sun breeze feel the peace Deep sun breeze feel the peace Deep sun breeze breathe out the light that’s in your heart too the world and you will be free
