Love Will Lay Hatred Down

There's a woman from Japan
folding paper with her hands.
Singing songs of peace.
Teaching the young. Teaching the old.
Teaching the world how to fold
paper cranes of peace flying now.

There's a girl in the park
making lanterns to float across
the river on Nagasaki Hiroshima Day.
She lights a candle in the dark.
Hoping that it will spark
peace the world around.

(Chorus)
Beauty before.
Beauty behind.
Beauty above.
Beauty below.
Beauty all around.
Love will lay hatred down.

There's a man in Red Square.
Passions to share
with the one he's holding tonight.
Kremlin Wall. Lenin's tomb.
Change of the guard. Iridescent moon.
Singing a song of love.
(Chorus)

One stitch at a time
from many old designs.
A symbol of a world that must come.
We will stitch
this world together yet.
Don't give up my friends, my love.
