Peace begins with me

how the world I see

and what I choose to be

Peace begins with you

through everything you do

creates a kind of glue

Peace begins with us

and all that we discuss

reduces any fuss

Peace belongs to her

with or without fur

freedom as it were

Peace belongs to him

with every life and limb

a cup full to the brim

Peace belongs to them

more precious than a gem

in every single stem

Peace begins with me

Peace begins with you

Peace belongs to us

May we live in peace
