[Verse 1]
People, we seem to all have lost our direction
This world is full of too much hate
Turn the page now, the hour's late

[Chorus]
Peace hymn
Oh, let the whole wide world sing this peace hymn
Peace hymn
It's all that's left to sing, please join in, uh-uh-uh-uh

[Verse 2]
Life is really much too short, don't destroy it
Learn how to love and understand
Take your brothers all by the hand

[Chorus]
Peace hymn
Oh, let the whole wide world sing this peace hymn
Peace hymn
It's all that's left to sing, please join in, uh-uh-uh-uh

[Verse 3]
(Why can't we learn from the past?)
It's not too late for learning
(People today race too fast)
Stop the wheel from turning
(Don't let the night stop you cold)
Let us stand united
(Turn to the truth, we should know)
Yes, mmm
[Chorus]
Peace hymn
Oh, let the whole wide world sing this peace hymn
Peace hymn
It's all that's left to sing, please join in, uh-uh-uh-uh
Peace hymn
Oh, let the whole wide world sing this peace hymn
Peace hymn
It's all that's left to sing, please join in, uh-uh-uh-uh
