The world needs Peace

Surrounded by the buds of hopes
Aspiring to see them as flowers
I stroll in the garden of peace
To view the bouquet of delights.

The world needs peace The world needs peace

I survived the stormy conflicts
I escaped the deserted streets
I cursed the war-torn woes
I clasped the battered hearts.

The world needs peace The world needs peace

Everywhere I noticed some mourners
Everywhere I heard sobbing voices
Everywhere I saw starving people
Everywhere I saw corpses lay strewn

The world needs peace The world needs peace

One voice, one thought and one hope
No doubt haunts quite often
Are we humans in the garb of inhumans
Or we humans on the verge of salvation

The world needs peace The world needs peace

Yes, rarely we find a messenger of peace
Rarely we find a helping hand for the needy
In search for an answer, years eclipse
Is there a dawn to unfurl a new vision. 

The world needs peace The world needs peace
