wage a little kindness help end their suffering
give up just a little bit of all that you have won
you are louder, louder than a gun
Sing your song of cour

get ready to take a stand
Sing your song of justice

Sing your song of hope

let go of the ancient grudge see people as they are are
forget about the us and them we're just dust from a single star
practice what you preach be fair

Sing your song of justice

aim to lend a helping hand
Sing your song of hope

like the fire of a thousand suns
Sing your song of peace
