Prayers for Peace In This World
Praying for peace on earth and goodwill to prevail in this universe; for all war to end and peace to descend from the heavens above.
Every day
A prayer my lips will often say
For every soldier to return
Safe and sound back to their hometown
Back to their home, their beloved ones
Back to live a life filled with happiness profound
Every moment a sound is heard
The firing of bullets, the echoes of words
Words of pain, sadness, and grief
Echoing in the battlefields without reprieve
Some soldiers die, some escape
Filled with sadness
To leave their friends without a grave
The soldiers die never to return
Soldiers
Never to return to their loved ones and home
Soldiers
Never to be heard in this world again
Soldiers
Never to go back to their families once again
All this should not happen
I hope and pray
A prayer on my lips day after day
For happiness to rule
And peace always
