[Intro]
In a world of gray, we dream in color, sighs of peace in the air
[Verse 1]
Hey there, kid with a hopeful smile, lay down your fists and join the mile
Across the fields where strangers sing, we hear the bells of a better spring
No marching drums to break the night, just gentle hands that hold us tight
If love is loud, let courage be, a kinder chorus, wild and free
[Pre-Chorus]
O-oh, ooh, the swords are old and worn, let them rust in the dawn
O-oh, ooh, we choose to heal, to see the dawn be born
[Chorus]
All we need is mercy, all we need is grace
Brother, sister, friend, let kindness fill this place
No more towers of smoke in the sky, no more lies that split our skies
We can rise as one, when we choose to be
[Verse 2]
A taxi hums along the dusty street, old songs humming from a busted speaker beat
Kids trade stories of a brighter day, where flags are woven into dreams they say
If we can find a way to share, to plant a seed of common care
The world will hum a softer tune, beneath a sun that heals the wound
[Pre-Chorus]
O-oh, ooh, the cages swing empty now, let freedom ring somehow
O-oh, ooh, we choose to heal, to mend what war devours
[Chorus]
All we need is mercy, all we need is grace
Brother, sister, friend, let kindness fill this place
No more towers of smoke in the sky, no more lies that split our skies
We can rise as one, when we choose to be
[Bridge]
If voices rise like rivers flow, we’ll water every seed we sow
Hands joined across every land, a simple drumbeat, a hopeful band
[Chorus]
All we need is mercy, all we need is grace
Brother, sister, friend, let kindness fill this place
No more towers of smoke in the sky, no more lies that split our skies
We can rise as one, when we choose to be
[Outro]
Let peace be the anthem we compose, until the wars are only memories we know
