Make more sound

I remember when I was younger
I saw the pictures on tv
Of the children who were my age
Who had to live their lives in fear

I sang the peace songs
With the hopeful ones
We believed the world would change and all’d be free

It was a shout in the distance
But it echoes on
Like a drop in the ocean
But the faith was strong
And if we’d gather round
We could make more sound

Now I’m older, maybe wiser
Maybe more a cynic than before
But I still long for a new day
Let us pray with many millions strong

We’ll sing the peace songs
With the hopeful ones
Let us still believe the world will be as one

It’s a shout in the distance
But it echoes on
Like a drop in the ocean
But the faith is strong
And if we gather round
We can make more sound

It’s a shout in the distance
But it echoes on
Like a drop in the ocean
But the faith is strong
And if we gather round
We can make more sound

Be brave, be bold
And let the truth be told
Pass the message on

It’s a shout in the distance
But it echoes on
Like a drop in the ocean
But the faith is strong
And if we gather round
We can make more sound

It’s a shout in the distance
But it echoes on
Like a drop in the ocean
But the faith is strong
And if we gather round
We can make more sound

It’s a shout in the distance
But it echoes on
Like a drop in the ocean
But the faith is strong
And if we gather round
We can make more sound
