You know that everybody has a voice
And how they use it is their own free choice
In your glory I will not rejoice
If you choose the ways of war
If you choose the ways of war
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
My country 'tis of thee; in God we trust
But how much longer will He shelter us
While we choose the ways of war
While the winds of war rage on
Let mine be a voice for peace
Oh let mine be a voice for peace
Oh let mine be a voice for peace
Let it start here with me
Oh let mine be a voice for peace
The good book tells us thou shalt not kill
The truth came shining and it's shining still
But how much blood upon this earth must spill
Before we lay our weapons down
Let us lay our weapons down
Let mine be a voice for peace
Oh let mine be a voice for peace
Oh let mine be a voice for peace
Let it start here with me, oh let mine be a voice
And in the face of the beast, oh let mine be a voice
Until the breaths in me cease, oh let mine be a voice for peace
Let mine be a voice for peace
Oh let mine be a voice for peace
Oh let mine be a voice for peace
Oh let mine be a voice for peace
Raise your voice up, raise your voice up
Raise your voice up and sing for the promise
"A Voice For Peace"

"A very anthemic song written after the Gulf War broke out. As I stated on the "River of Souls" album, there will always be better ways than destruction to settle our differences."
