For years I've been silent
As if I've been waiting
For something to happen
to move my life along
A little message from heaven
A sign from the Gods

Give me purpose
give me meaning
Help me change to right what's wrong

but the world keeps on spinning
Every evening has it's glow
Leaves are finished falling
and it's just about to snow

I listen in the grayness
with impatience in my heart
I can't just sit here waiting
for my truest life to start

I want to rise up singing
and dancing in the dark
Fashion the timber to build a new ark
I want Peace
Peace
I want Peace
I want Peace

I've been searching for a family
Searching for my home
Searching for some kindness
And some friends in kindness sown

Who can slow down the madness
Look each other in the eyes
Hold each other's sadness
Make each other wise

Cause the world keeps on spinning
Further out of control
Fear and hatred calling
for the next War to explode

I listen in the grayness
With frustration in my heart
I can't just sit here watching
As the world is torn apart

I want to rise up singing
and dancing in the dark
Fashion the timber to build a new ark
I want Peace
Peace
I want Peace
I want Peace

Maybe I've stopped waiting
Signs have come and gone
I don't have all the answers
But the feeling is so strong

More and more people
are taking to the streets
Talking, singing, praying
And speaking out for Peace

As the world keeps on spinning
I hold on to this hope
Peace is the calling
and I am not alone

I listen in the grayness
With intention in my heart
I know this is the moment
I know it's time to start

I'm gonna rise up singing
and dancing in the dark
Fashion the timber to build a new ark
I want Peace
Peace
I want Peace
I want Peace
