Lyrics
Peace is a Shining Jewel
(c) 2005 Words: Bernie Gilbert and Brook, Music: Brook
Peace is a shinin' jewel in our hands
Peace cannot be won without a stand
War is so strong,
Silence brings it on
Peace is a shinin' jewel in our hands
Peace is a shinin' jewel in our hearts
Community's the place from which we start
In our diversity,
Solidarity
Peace is a shinin' jewel in our hands
Peace is a shinin' jewel, let it shine
Our strength when heart and mind align
Truth shows us the way
In what we do and say
Peace is a shinin' jewel in our hands
Peace is a shinin' jewel in our hands
Peace cannot be won without a stand
War is so strong,
Silence brings it on
Peace is a shinin' jewel in our hands
