THERE’S A WHOLE LOTTA CHOICES OF ‘YES’ OR ‘NO’
A WHOLE LOTTA CHOICES OF ‘DO’ OR ‘DON’T’
I HOPE YOUR CHOICE WILL BE WITH ME
I CHOOSE PEACE
I CHOOSE PEACE
I say NO to hittin’, to cussin’, to fightin’
To drugs I say NO, NO, NO
To litterin’, to violence, to smokin’, to stealin’
To drinkin’ I say NO, NO, NO
YES to kindness, to carin’, to sharin’
To love I say YES, YES, YES
To music, to dancin’, to laughin’, to smilin’
To blessing the Earth, YES, YES, YES
IF IT LEADS THIS WORLD TO PEACE
IT GETS A GREAT BIG ‘YES!’ FROM ME (CHORUS)
I say NO drunk drivin’, NO talkin’ back to parents
No jumpin’ on the bed, NO, NO, NO
NO cuttin’ down trees, NO pickin’ the flowers
Pullin’ hair, bein’ bad, NO, NO, NO
YES to bein’ helpful, doin’ dishes, babysittin’
Pickin’ up trash, YES YES YES
YES to plantin’ flowers, trees and tomatoes
Havin’ fun, goin’ swimmin’ YES YES YES
IF IT LEADS THIS WORLD TO PEACE
IT GETS A GREAT BIG ‘YES!’ FROM ME (CHORUS)
