Peace-It-Together

Peace Rapp

Written by Red Grammar

Performed by Mary Miche

Now all across this big wide world

There are lots of boys and lots of girls ]With different eyes and different noses

Different hair and different clothes

It's a magical thing, it's a wonderful game

We all look different but we're all the same

Hello, Hola, Jambo, Ching Tian Nee How Ma

Now the differences are great and the differences are small

But that's just part of the beauty of it all

We're all like notes that make up a song

We need everyone, so come on, sing aong!

Hello, Hola, Jambo, Ching Tian Nee How Ma

Now some folks think that they are the best

They don't know how to get along

They say heck with the rest

So they go the wrong way and they do the wrong thing

But the song sounds weak

When it's time for them to sing

Hello, Hola, Jambo, Ching Tian Nee How Ma

Now you gather up folks from all kinds of places

With different ways of talkin'

And different color faces

There's something special each one brings along

And when they sing together

Now you've really got a song

Hello, Hola, Jambo, Ching Tian Nee How Ma

Instrumental

So open up your eyes and look around

THere's all kinds of kids that live in your town

Maybe black, maybe white, maybe rich, maybe poor

You gotta get to know 'em all

That's what friends are for

'Cause the differences are great and the differences are small

But that's just part of the beauty of it all

We're all like notes that make up a song

We need everybody, so come on, sing along

Hello, Hola, Jambo, Ching Tian Nee How Ma

Peace It Together Lyrics

Chickens for Peace

Written by Peter Alsop

Performed by Mary Miche

Chickens for peace, we're chickens for peace

And we don't want to fight

Chickens for peaces, we're chickens for peace

One little war and we're chicken pot pie

Chickens for peace, we're chickens for peace

And no one respects a chicken who begs

Chickens for peace, we're chickens for peace

One little slip and we're hard boiled eggs

Chickens for peace, we're chickens for peace

But we're not chicken chickens, we're taking a stand

Chickens for peace, we're chickens for peace

And our chicken spirit is sweeping the land

The dogs and the hogs are still fighting

The swans and the ducks are all wet

But us chickens have all been uniting

And what chickens want, chickens get

Chickens for peace, we're chickens for peace

And we will win, we're not turkeys or geese

Chickens for peace, we're chickens for peace

Hold up your beaks, and join in

'Cause those dogs, they've got water

That will make chicken soup

From the grease of us chickens for peace

Chickens for peace

Chickens FOR PEACE

Use A Word

Written by Red Grammar

Performed by Mary Miche

When a someone makes a slip

And you wanna bruise their lip

Use a word (use a word)

When someone grabs your book

And you go for your left hook

Use a word (use a word)

'Cause we can work it out

That's what words were invented for

We can work it out

It's the best way there is for sure

To fight over something is absurd

So for Pete's sake, use a word

When someone steals your ball

And you want to make 'em fall

Use a word (use a word)

When someone plays a trick

And you're winding up to kick

Use a word (use a word)

'Cause we can work it out

That's what words were invented for

We can work it out

It's the best way there is for sure

To fight over something is absurd

So for Pete's sake, use a word

There's so many different words

They do all kinds of things

Some can make us smile and laugh

While others hurt and sting

We get to choose the words we use

Each and every day

So when it's time to use a word

Be careful what you say

'Cause we can work it out

That's what words were invented for

We can work it out

It's the best way there is for sure

To fight over something is absurd

So for Pete's sake, use a word

When someone hurts your pride

And you want to run and hide

Use a word (use a word)

When someone thinks of you

In a way that isn't true

Use a word (use a word)

Everybody's different

Take a look around and see

You're the only you I know

And I'm the only me

Because we're all so different

There'll be time we disagree

But I just wanna say, my friend

That that'll all right with me

'Cause we can work it out

That's what words were invented for

We can work it out

It's the best way there is for sure

To fight over something is absurd

So for Pete's sake, use a word

So for Pete's sake-

And Jamies, and Nikkis, and Juans,

And Jamals, and Debbies, and Aarons

And Chrystals, and Davids, and Andys

Use a word!

The World is a Rainbow

Written by Greg Scelsea

Performed by Mary Miche

The word is a rainbow

That's filled with many colors

Yellow, black and white and brown

You see them all around

The world is a rainbow

With many kinds of people

It takes all kinds of people

To make the world go 'round

Now you be you

And I'll be me

That's the way we were meant to be

But world is a mixing cut

Just look what happens

When we stir it up

The world is a rainbow

With many kinds of people

And when we work together

It's such a sight to see

The world is beautiful

When we live in harmony

La la la la la la...

Hands

Written by Cathy Fink

Performed by Mary Miche

It takes one hand to say hello

One hand to say good-bye

Gentle hands to hold a child and rock away a cry

A few good hands to multiply

From two good souls to more

A circle of hands to take a stand

And put an end to war

Hands to pick the vegetables

And hands grow the fruit

We all owe thanks to hands that grow

New trees from older roots

Hands that dig the coal

Are hands in danger every day

To keep our hands warm

These hands work beneath the earth and clay

It takes one hand to say hello

One hand to say good-bye

Gentle hands to hold a child and rock away a cry

A few good hands to multiply

From two good souls to more

A circle of hands to take a stand

And put an end to war

Little hands and big hands

There are no two the same

Hands of every color and hands of every name

Hands to play the music

And hands to write the songs

Hands that know that hearts can't live on

Handy work alone

It takes one hand to say hello

Mir/Peace

Written by Lorre Wyatt

Performed by Mary Miche

This song is in Russian and English.

Mir is the Russian word for peace.

Left my home far away

Came to sing and to say

Mir/Peace

Strange and new, everything

May we learn, may it bring

Mir/Peace

Sometimes we disagree

Still I know, there can be Mir/Peace.

The next verse sounds different

Because it's in Russian.

Friends Forever

Written by John Carter

Performed by Mary Miche

It's a jigsaw puzzle world

With walls and border

Broken lines divide our land.

But the world is just one place,

And all the strangers on its face

Can share this world

And we can live as friends

And we are friends forever,

We are friends forever,

And our work on Earth is just begun.

Through the pain and pleasure

We will stand together

We are friends forever;

We are one.

All the barbwire in the world

Cannot divide us;

Only fear can build a fence.

So a spirit that can reach across

The fence around us each

Can make us one and

We can live as friends.

And we are friends forever,

We are friends forever,

And our work on Earth is just begun.

Through the pain and pleasure

We will stand together

We are friends forever;

We are one.

It's a simple faith that binds us

All together

With a love that never ends.

And together we will join our hands

And reach around the earth

We are all one and

We can live as friends.

And we are friends forever,

We are friends forever,

And our work on Earth is just begun.

Through the pain and pleasure

We will stand together

We are friends forever;

We are one.

Song of Peace (Finlandia)

Written by Jean Sibelius & Lloyd Stone

Performed by Mary Miche

This is my song, a song for all the nations

A song of peace, for lands afar and mine

This is my home, the country where my heart is

Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine

But other hearts in other lands are beating

With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine

My country's skies are bluer than the ocean,

And sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine.

But other lands have sunlight too, and clover,

And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.

O hear my song, O thou of all the nations

A song of peace for your land and for mine

Find a Peaceful Thought

Written by Linda Arnold

Performed by Mary Miche

It's an old fashioned word and it's been all around

'Cross every ocean, every mountain or town

Thinking this word is lots of fun to do

Here is what some children said

When they'd thought it through:

Peace is a quiet country side

Peace is jumping on the moon

Peace is a little kitten on your lap

Peace is a happy birthday party

Peace is shaking hands and stuff like that

Peace is planting flowers on a clear day

Peace is when you pray

So find a peaceful thought and plant it in your heart

Maybe then a peaceful world

Will really start to grow

Peace is a furry Easter bunny

Peace is when your Daddy's funny

Peace is sleeping with your teddy bear

Peace is never having homework

Peace is a yummy chocolate sundae

Peace is showing someone that you care

Peace is feeling happy

Peace is feeling free

Peace is full of magic

Peace is you and me

So find a peaceful thought and plant it in your heart

Maybe then a peaceful world

Could really start to grow

Silly Old Song for Peace

Written by Jane Timberlake

Performed by Mary Miche

Singing in the sunshine, singing in the rain

Singing in the bathtub, singing on the train

Singing in the elevator, singing on the lawn

Everywhere I go I'll sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

Singing on the sidewalks, singing to the moon

Singing at supper to my fork and spoon

Singing it right and singing it wrong

Everywhere I go I'll sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

Singing to the panda and the camels at the zoo

Singing to the platypus and to the kangaroo

Singing at the movies, singing to the King Kong

Everywhere I go I'll sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

Singing to my belly button, singing my socks

Singing to my bagel, singing to my lox

Singing it short and singing it lo-o-o-ng

Everywhere I go I'll sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

Singing on the radio, singing on TV

Singing 'til I drive everybody up a tree

Singing all night and singing all day long

Everywhere I go I'll sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

Singing it high and singing it low

Singing it down where it should never go

Singing it up where it doesn't belong

Everywhere I go I'll sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

Singing in Nairobi, singing in Rangoon

Singing in Berkeley, and in Saskatoon

Singing in Calcutta, singing in Hong Kong

Everywhere I go I'll sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

Soldiers and pilots in armies everywhere

In submarines beneath the sea and bombers in the air

They'll be singing out together, singing out strong

Instead of making war they'll sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

Then prime ministers and presidents,

all the kings and queens

The Army and the Air Force even the Marines

From Moscow to the Pentagon, from Beijing to Mekong

They'll have to change their war plans to sing my song

Well I'm singing out for peace as I'm traveling on

And I'm driving people nuts with my silly old song

'Til there 's no more war and we're getting along

I'll be driving people nuts with my silly old song

(break in)

OK OK we'll stop fighting if you just stop

singing that silly old song!

Yambo

Written by David Crow

Performed by Mary Miche

They call me Yambo

A sweet potato named Yambo

I'm not a fighter like Rambo

That's not my style

They call me Yambo

A sweet potato named Yambo

Everybody say Yambo (Yambo)

And see me smile

Now the only submarine I like

is a sandwich made out of bread

And we should replace each missile

With some missile toe instead

And the only gun that's any fun

Is the kind that you can squirt

And the only fighting that I like

Is the kind that does not hurt

They call me Yambo

A sweet potato named Yambo

I'm not a fighter like Rambo

That's not my style

They call me Yambo

A sweet potato named Yambo

Everybody say Yambo (Yambo)

And see me smile

Now the only battleship I like

Is a Milton Bradley game

And the only bombers that I like

Are in the Hall of Fame

And the only scary things I like

Are on the movie screen

And the only bad guys that I like

Are the kind that aren't too mean

They call me Yambo

A sweet potato named Yambo

I'm not a fighter like Rambo

That's not my style

They call me Yambo

A sweet potato named Yambo

Everybody say Yambo (Yambo)

And see me smile

Kids Peace Song

Written by Peter Alsop

Performed by Mary Miche

People come in different sizes, colors, shapes and names

Though we're different on the outside

Inside I think we're the same

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad

Scared or silly, mean or mad

The feelings you have I have too

We're not so different me and you

I bet you have ideas like me

Our brains are built the same, you see

And if I understand you right

We both like peaceful sleep at night

People come in different sizes, colors, shapes and names

Though we're different on the outside

Inside I think we're the same

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad

Scared or silly, mean or mad

We love to laugh and play and run

And we would never start a war

We're all afraid of bombs and guns

We know that one fight leads to more

Our country says we must be ready

For a fight no matter when

But even though that might be right

It makes the other countries scared

People come in different sizes, colors, shapes and names

Though we're different on the outside

Inside I think we're the same

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad

Scared or silly, mean or mad

Instrumental

It's time to try a different way

Where fighting isn't in the plan

We can be strong without our bombs

It's time that all the bombs were banned

Kids like us live everywhere

Around the world in every land

The words we speak are not the same

But peace on earth we understand

People come in different sizes, colors, shapes and names

Though we're different on the outside

Inside I think we're the same

Sometimes happy, sometimes sad

Scared or silly, mean or mad

I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony

I'd like to hold it in my arms

Any keep it company

And never goes away

And furnish it with love

Grow apple trees and honey bees

And snow white turtle doves

That's the song I sing

Let the world sing today

A song of peace that echoes out

And never goes away

I'd like to see the world for once

All standing hand in hand

And hear the echo through the hills

For peace throughout the land

That's the song I sing

Let the world sing today

A song of peace that echoes out

And never goes away

We are the World

Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie

Performed by Mary Miche

There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

It's time to lend a hand to Life, the greatest gift of all

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day

Just you and me

We can't go on pretending day by day

That someone, somewhere will soon make a change

We are all a part of this great big family

And the truth, you know, Love is all we need

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day

Just you and me

Send them your heart so they know that someone cares

And their lives will be stronger and free

The time has come to walk the path to peace

So we will walk together hand in hand

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day

Just you and me

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all

If you just believe there's no way we can fall

Let us realize that change can only come

When we stand together as one

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day

Just you and me

And let it begin with me

Let there be peace on earth

In peace eternally

Let there be peace on earth

And let it begin with me.
