WorldPeace is Marching On
(Tune)BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
My ears can hear it coming-
It’s the rising cry for peace.
It is growing, swelling, spreading.
Let the talk of warfare cease.
In the place of hate and violence
Let the way of love increase.
The truth is marching on.
Glory,glory,hallelujah!(3times)
Word peace is marching on.
We have tried the way of violence-
Let us try the way of love.
Feed the hungry, clothe the naked,
Tame the hawk and send the dove.
With our sisters and our brothers
Join to overcome with love.
Worldpeace is marching on.
Study War No More
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Ain’t gonna study war no more.
chorus
Ain’t gonna study war no more( x 6)
…..
Gonna bring all our soldiers back
Back from Colombia, back from Colombia, back from Colombia.
Gonna bring all our soldiers back. Back from Colombia.
Gonna study war no more.
Repeat chorus
Gonna join hands around the world
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna join hands around the world
Down by the riverside
Gonna study war no more

Please Tell America (tune: God Bless America)
Please tell America
War can’t succeed
Stand beside her and guide her
From this fight with the wisdom she needs
Stop the bombing, stop the missiles
Tell the soldiers not to roam
Please tell America
Bring our troops home
Please tell America
Bring our troops home
America We Weep for Thee (tune:America the Beautiful)
O beautiful for bomb free skies
For amber waves of grain
How can we on defenseless lands
Our bombs and terror rain (reign?)
America,America oh how we weep for thee
For once you stood for sisterhood,
Across both land and sea.
Oh beautiful for immigrants
Who gave here of their best
Who built our future
Found our homes
Across the wilderness
America,America oh how we weep for thee.
For once you stood for principles
For justice and for peace.
Military spending
(Frere Jacques tune)Sung as a round
Military spending, taxes unending
What a waste, what a waste
Reinstate some sanity, turn it to humanity
No more war, No more war
Alternate lyrics (frère Jacques tune)
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping
Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam
Anti war bells ringing,
Hear the people singing
Work for peace, Work for peace
Peace 2 Peace

Peace, peace, peace, peace.
Wars must end and wars must cease.
We must learn to live together.
Peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace.
Make homelessness and hunger cease.
We must learn to live together.
Peace, peace, peace.
