PEACE

I believe with all my heart that the monks who burned themselves did not aim at the death of the oppressors but only at a change in their policies. Their enemies are not man. They are intolerance, fanaticism, dictatorship, cupidity, hatred, and discrimination which lie within the heart of man. These are real enemies of humans,— not humans themselves. In our unfortunate fatherland we are trying to plead desperately: do not kill man, even in man's name. Please kill the real enemies of man which are present everywhere in our very hearts and minds... You cannot be silent since you haven already been in action and you are in action because, in you, God is in action.

Peace is a ray of heavenly light-- A calm serenity of thought--

A cloudless day without a night; A pleasure with a blessing fraught--

A tranquil feeling in the breast. The antepast of endless rest.

Peace is an undisturbed repose;

The wicked has no peace within; For like the troubled waves which roll,

The billows of disgorging sin O'erwhelm his guilty, sinking soul;

"There is no peace," saith God, the Lord, "To those who sin against my word."

The world has got no peace to give-- Its promises are all a cheat;

But all who to the Saviour live, And bow before the mercy seat,

Shall hear, while bending to his will..That inward whisper, "Peace, be still."

Peace has a countless host of foes--Wrath, envy, hatred, malice, pride,

Afflictions, trials, crosses, woes,..Stand frowningly on every side.

Yet kept by faith secure, our peace..Shall in the tempest's rage increase.

Oh! thou who art the Prince of peace, Send down a blessing from above,

And bid our strife and jarring cease, ..And fill our hearts with perfect love,

That we may feel that peace within-- The pledge of victory over sin.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Only sadness

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Only sadness

Everybody is talkin' 'bout peace in the world
  oh yeah

everybody is talkin' 'bout peace in the world
but ev'rytime I hear a hungry baby cry
I ask peace now show me your face.

Peace now show me your face...

but ev'rytime I see the trouble 'round the world
I ask freedom show me your face.

Freedom show me your face...

Everybody is talkin' 'bout peace in the world
oh yeah
Everybody is talkin' 'bout peace in the world
oh yeah
but ev'rytime I see a young soldier die
I ask

"peace now show me your face.''
