Only Love Can Bring Us Peace

Only love can bring us peace
of another way to be.
Only love can master hate
‘cause love is always great.

Behind the curtain, you know,
something is working, revealing it all:
the action of joy, the action of love
drivin’ out shadows, givin’ the hope.

Peace is comin’, changin’ it all,
peace made by love, created for all,
peace of lovers, peace for all,
peace of hearts so wonderful.

The automatic weapons of jealous greed
and the handheld guns of bigotry
shoot away all the fun
of joy and love and staying young.

Only love can bring us peace,
love of souls so sweet,
the energy of the young and free,
the joy and the love that make us see.

Beyond dull pretension, you know,
there is the true, not just a show.
The action is there of joy and love,
the moment electric of soul and hope.

  1. The weapons of destruction go all out to spoil the serene atmosphere, and bring in the catastrophe not capable of being rooted out!
    While love is blooming, and powerful enough to do wonders, why then should we resort to hate and violence?
    Do we relish taking away the peace of mind of others, while on our part we wish peace be appeasing us?
    Let love be the fighting tool in our armour to garner as much peace as possible- not to retain with us for ourselves, but to distribute lavishly where it’s lacking!
