let the people choose peace

Everybody’s shouting ‘bout
Borders, orders, climate disorders
Markets, targets, plastic in oceans
Screens and machines and endless commotions
(Motions, motions, motions!)

All we are singing is let the people choose peace
(All we are singing, come on now)
All we are singing is let the people choose peace

Everybody’s shouting ‘bout
Leaders, readers, prophets and tweeters
Hashtags, flashmobs, billionaires in boardrooms
Marches and parches and fires and typhoons
(Voom, voom, voom!)

All we are singing is let the people choose peace
(What are we singing? Let the people choose peace)
All we are singing is let the people choose peace
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Let me tell you now—
Everybody’s shouting ‘bout
Solutions, revolutions, false confusions, institutions
Global warming, storming, children dreaming, voices streaming
Healing, feeling, world revealing
(Dealing, dealing, dealing!)

All we are singing is let the people choose peace
(Keep it rolling, keep it rolling!)
All we are singing is let the people choose peace

Everybody’s shouting ‘bout
Artists, teachers, dreamers, seekers
Doctors, farmers, poets and builders
Mothers and brothers, sisters and lovers
Neighbors and strangers, changers and shapers!

All we are singing is let the people choose peace
(All we are singing is let the people choose peace)
All we are singing is let the people choose peace
(Everybody now, everybody now!)

All we are singing is let the people choose peace
(Louder, louder!)
All we are singing is let the people choose peace
