Lyric by Thich Nhat Hanh

Peace to the newborn babe.
Peace to the sinner and the saved.
Peace to the one not yet born.
Peace to the weary and war-torn.

All lay your head down to rest. (2x)
Peace to all suffering souls.
Peace to the meek and the bold.
Peace to this blessed day,
and to those who have lost their way.

Chorus

It’s the deepest yearning from my heart
to lay down my arms and proffer a rose for peace,
break down the walls, raze to the ground my pride,
And from my heart, play my part for peace.

Peace begins with me.

Peace to all suffering souls.
Peace to the meek and the bold.
Peace to this blessed day,
and to those who have lost their way.

Chorus (2x)
Rest.
