CHANT: “All we are saying is Give Peace a Chance.” 
(While alternately hitting the floor or lap to a 4/4 beat)


After the group chants the verse about 2x the rapper loudly speaks each stanza.
Group continues to tap out rhythm on lap or floor.


Stanza I:
You’re lookin’ in the mirror and you think you see

A reflection of the you that has come to be

But, your eyes are closed and your mind is too

Let God reveal the Truth to you.


CHANT 1x

Stanza II:
You’re hurtin’ and you feelin', oh so lost

Spendin' time with ego has raised the cost

Look away, forgive, head toward the Light

No need to spend another sleepless night.


CHANT 1x

Stanza III:
It's time to choose 'tween Love and fear

Doin’ nothin’s gonna keep y...o...u right here!

Just a bit of will; sincere request

Opens up your mind to Spirit’s quest


CHANT 1x

Stanza IV:
Spirit will answer; show you the Way

Remind you who you are today

You are one with God, His Joy and Peace

Follow Spirit and your pain will cease


CHANT 1x

Stanza V
Love and joy are ways to extend

No magic about it; nothing to pretend

You’re One with God. Pull the curtain back

You’ll want for nothing. They’ll be no lack.


FINAL CHANT
(Voices and hand sounds get softer and softer as we end the chant. At the end, reach over and hold hands with those on either side as the chant ends with, "And with each other.")



I am Love

You are Love

We are One with God (3x)

And with each other (1x)
