A Life of Peace

 

Step back, spirits of war

It is enough!

We do not want to spill more blood,

And we don't want our blood

To be spilled.

Go back into your dark dens,

You warmongering spirits,

Thirsty for blood!

 

We human beings, Sons of Man,

Want to be humane,

Not blood-ordained!

Our hearts shall open up

Toward our different brothers –

Human being of a different religion –

For the colour of our blood is the same.

May their hearts open up

Toward us, who are different –

We, who are of a different religion.

 

For we all live under the same sun

The same moon,

The same rain,

The same soil.

Together, we shall build anew

A community of people,

Colourful, diverse,

With many faiths and many opinions,

With a common goal uniting us all –

a life of peace and creation.

 

In every flower garden

We can plant different flowers,

With different colours,

Of different seasons,

With different blossoms.

This is the garden

God has chosen – diverse, colourful,

Everyone under the same sun,

Everyone growing together

On the same soil

 

Halleluiah
