let there be peace (rewrite 1)

let there be peace

in the war zone of your mind

when bitter thoughts control you

when you leave yourself behind

let there be peace

in the coldness of your heart

when love is forgotten

when fear tears it apart

in this time when sadness

never seems to cease

let there be peace

let there be love

when you're feeling all alone

when you're lost and you can't find

your way back home

let there be love

when the road ahead is rough

when everything inside you

says you're just not good enough

when emptiness and hurt 

are all you can think of

let there be love

let there be hope

when hope is nowhere to be found

when the ways of life

try to push you underground

let there be hope

when you haven't got a friend

and your chance of happiness

feels like it's at an end

in this time of feeling desperate

and you don't know how to cope

let there be hope

let there be peace

let there be love

let there be hope

let there be enough
