Let’s cook a pot of stew,
We’ll add onions and potatoes
Throw in a few green beans
And a couple chopped tomatoes
It’s amazing how those flavors blen
It’s amazing how those flavors blend
To make it so delish.
And for our troubled world,
I’ve a message and a wish.
CHORUS: There’s no two alike
We’re different as we can be
I like the way God made you
And I hope you like the way He made me.
We’re all in this together
So let’s all try to see
How each one has a special spot
In earth’s great family.
Let’s paint a pretty picture
With a lot of different hues
Black and brown and yellow
Red and green and blue
It’s amazing how the rainbow glows
To soothe my weary eyes
And here’s a little message
For the foolish and the wise: SING CHORUS
BRIDGE: We’re not a box of paints
And we’re not a pot of stew.
We’re people who make choices
In what we say and do.
It only takes two to tangle
It only takes two to fight.
It only takes two to talk things out
And two to make it right.
As far as it depends on me
And it depends on you.
Let’s be a peaceful people
In what we say and do.
It’s amazing how a little love
Can spread the world ‘round
Let’s join our hands and sing
And lift up the peaceful sound: SING CHORUS
Stand in a circle. Point to You and Me. Hold hands and move in circular motion. Hold up hands "We're all in this together".
Make fighting fists and drop them. (tangle and fight)
Our songs for children about peace and justice, resolving conflicts, and celebrating our global family are more important than ever in these troubled times. These Peace Resources are intended to help us all move forward with hope and tools for song and action as we work together to build a healthier, more peaceful world.
