Circle the Earth (with Peace)

By Joanne Hammil

in The World's Gonna Listen by Joanne Hammil

Lyrics

Peace, peace, peace,

Peace the whole world over;

Building friendships, sharing our worth,

Take my hand, let's circle the earth with

Peace peace peace.

(harmony:

Peace, peace, peace,

Peace the whole world over;

Building, sharing,

Take my hand, with

Peace peace peace.)

[After verse 1, substitute the word "Peace" in a different language for each verse:]

Paz, paz, paz,

Paz the whole world over;

Building friendships, sharing our worth,

Take my hand, let's circle the earth with

Paz, paz, paz.
