We marched for peace again on Sunday…and from the very start….

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

our footsteps on the ground made the sound of a beating heart.

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

The march ended at a park…around a drum circle where…

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

we were reminded that a beating heart is something we all share.

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

It matters not the color of our skin…our country of origin…if we have different names

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

for every person on this Earth…our heartbeat is the same.

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

We all share this gift of life…which in itself is fleeting

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

but hatred…bigotry and war can stop a healthy heart from beating

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

I wish I knew the answer….how long it takes to create….

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

for a heart born out of love…to fill itself with hate.

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

We marched for peace…for same reason we have marched before…

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

to hope and pray that no-one ever again…marches off to war.

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

Because in our minds it’s simple…war and hatred and bigotry would cease

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup

If everybody with the same heartbeat…marched together for peace

Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup
