Song: Pipes of Peace (Paul McCartney)

September 21st is the International Day of Peace and to celebrate the occasion, here is a nice song sending out a message of love and peace! The clip shows the 1914 Christmas truce between the British and the Germans during World War I.



I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear

All round the world little children being born to the world
Got to give them all we can 'til the war is won
Then will the work be done
Help them to learn (help them to learn)
Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn (burn, baby burn)
Let us show them how to play the pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace

Help me to learn songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn
Won't you show me how to play the pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace

What do you say? (do you say)
Will the human race be run in a day? (in a day)
Or will someone save this planet were playing on?
Is it the only one? (what are we going to do?)

Help them to see (help them to see)
That the people here are like you and me
Let us show them how to play the pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace
