The Way to Peace

Music and Lyric by Rich Siegel

Inspired by quote: “There is no way to peace.  Peace is the way.”  -A.J. Muste

The way to peace is peace
It’s not deception, it’s not invasion, it’s not lies
The way to peace is peace
So sad to see a family’s grief, hear a widow’s cries

The way to peace is peace
We are not safer for toppling statues, for dropping bombs
The way to peace is peace
The only peace, the peace the heals, the peace that calms

The way to peace is to live and let live
It’s to be and to simply let be
The way to peace is to dwell in that knowledge
For it is the truth that will set you free

The way to peace is peace
It’s not imposing our will on others for our own gain
The way to peace is peace
So let’s end the violence, end the suffering, end the pain

The way to peace is equality, justice, fair trade,
and real freedoms for all
The way to peace is to worship in our way
While others may follows a different call

The way to peace is peace
It isn’t war, even if loudly they proclaim
that peace will be achieved through war
It isn’t true, it can’t be done, for this we know,
the way is peace, in God’s name

The way to peace is peace
