The Whole World Over, Peace Lyrics

For every woman and every man
and every child in every land
in every language ever spoken
may this hopeful promise forever go unbroken . . .

We will build no more walls and close no more doors,
and draw no more lines in the sand . . .

If we want it, we can build it,
and make it strong, we'll fulfill it
Can you see it? There's no doubt . . .
Just believe it, I'm talking about the whole world over, peace

(chorus)
Arm in arm, one by one, hand in hand, 'til we're done
step by step, piece by piece, bit by bit . . .
I'm talking about the whole world over, peace

If every person in this human family
from every village and every town,
in every city tall, on every mountain high,
from every nation strong the whole world 'round

began to tear down their walls and throw down their arms,Otis Read - The Whole World Over, Peace - http://motolyrics.com/otis-read/the-whole-world-over-peace-lyrics.html
and hold out their hands, all in the name of peace . . .

(repeat chorus)

On this journey that we've begun,
if we're held back we'll overcome
'cause every flower on this earthly field
will push its colors up into the sun

(final chorus)
Arm in arm, one by one,
hand in hand, 'til we're done
step by step, piece by piece,
bit by bit, there's no doubt

(chorus 2)
If we want it, we can build it,
we'll fulfill it, all together
can you see it, we can bring it about,
just believe it, we'll achieve it

(repeat both as round)
I'm talking about the whole world over, peace
