The Whole World Over Peace Lyrics

The Whole World Over Peace lyrics

For every woman and every man

and every child in every land

in every
language ever spoken

may this hopeful promise forever go unbroken . . .

 

We will build no more walls and close no more doors,

and draw
no more lines in the sand . . .

 

If we want it, we can build
it,

and make it strong, we'll fulfill it

Can you see it? There's no
doubt . . .

Just believe it, I'm talking about the whole world over,
peace

 

(chorus)

Arm in arm, one by one, hand in hand, 'til
we're done

step by step, piece by piece, bit by bit . . .

I'm
talking about the whole world over, peace

 

If every person in this
human family

from every village and every town,

in every city tall,
on every mountain high,

from every nation strong the whole world
'round

 

began to tear down their walls and throw down their
arms,

and hold out their hands, all in the name of peace . . .

 

(repeat chorus)

 

On this journey that we've begun,

if
we're held back we'll overcome

'cause every flower on this earthly
field

will push its colors up into the sun

 

(final
chorus)

Arm in arm, one by one,

hand in hand, 'til we're done

step by step, piece by piece,

bit by bit, there's no doubt

 

(chorus 2)

If we want it, we can build it,

we'll fulfill it, all
together

can you see it, we can bring it about,

just believe it,
we'll achieve it

 

(repeat both as round)

I'm talking about
the whole world over, peace
