LOVE & PEACE

If you could see my heart,

I wonder what you’d say.

Would you love me more,

Or throw me away?

How I wish I knew you,

How I wish I knew your name.

I thought you were a stranger,

I thought you were a beast.

Now I see so clearly,

But now it’s too late.

If you could see my heart,

I think you’d run away.

But if you looked more closely,

I think you’d see your own.

I’d show you love and mercy,

If you came to my home.

Will you show love and mercy,

Now that I’m all alone?

What peace in heaven have we,

If we don’t even try?

I wish you could know me,

But that all takes time.

Time passes quickly,

Some things you can’t take back.

I wish I could know you,

And give love a chance.

But now I’ll never know you,

And you’ll never see my heart.

I think you would’ve liked me,

If we’d given peace a chance.

We’d have laughed and played together,

I’d have held you when you cried.

Now I see you crying,

But there’s nothing I can do.

Now I see you laughing,

But I can’t laugh with you.

We never knew each other,

Maybe one day we will.

But right now you are living,

And shortly I’ll be dead.

I guess we hate each other,

I didn’t know your name.

I guess it’s cuz we’re different,

But I think deep down

We’re the same.

I guess it’s just too hard

To love one another,

And not take what’s not ours.

Right now it seems so easy,

I think for once I see,

If only things were different,

And we had strived for peace.

Then maybe we wouldn’t be here,

Maybe we’d be home.

Our song would be forgiveness,

And love would be our peace.

Maybe it sounds crazy,

So go ahead and judge.

But if you could see my heart,

O what would you say?

Would you love me more

Or hate me?

Today’s my dying day.

I don’t know where I’m going,

I’ve hoped and I’ve prayed.

All my life I’ve known

Love and hate.

Is there forgiveness?

Can there be peace?

These things I’ve never seen,

I don’t know what I believe.

But when I cry I know,

I want love and peace.

O when I die I know,

I want love and peace.

And as I die I know,

Although you’ve slapped me,

I’ll turn the other cheek.

And if you could see me,

I think you’d see yourself.

And if you could see me,

I think you would see,

We’re not all that different,

We hope and we dream.

O we’re not all that different,

Everything’s not what it seems.

And if you can see me,

Please hear my words.

Don’t you cry for me,

I don’t want your tears.

But if you can see me,

Live for love and peace.

Live for love and peace.
