I saw a world at peace today
And in that fleeting instant
All fear and strife
All pain in life
Withdrew to something distant
And in its stead
A path of light
That led to a new vision
When we know our family as one
Of love and joy
Of calmer times
Of opening hearts
Embracing all
Who heard the call
The joyful sound
Of voices raised in laughter,
Here today
not pushed away
To some far removed tomorrow.
