SILENCE THE GUNS (Silent Night)                                                  

Silence the guns
Disarm the nukes
Value calm
Give two hoots
Reject violence all around ya
Declare peace and sing hallelujah!,
Peace is heavenly, peace, peace is heavenly, peace.

Send out the hate
Bring on the love,
Might’s not right
Stop the fight
Neighbor’s helping are good volunteers
Making friends with strangers erases all fears
Live in pos-i- tivity, live in pos-i-tivity







JUSTICE, JUSTICE, JUSTICE (Dradle Song)                                         

Justice, justice, justice
Equality is fair
And when all people have it
With others we will share

Freedom, freedom, freedom
Oppression get behind
Liberate all people
Be mindful and be kind

Singing, singing, singing
Elevates endorphins
So sing out with the grannies
Inspire lots of grins



LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM                                       
Last night I had the strangest dream, I never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed, to put an end to war.
I dreamed I saw a mighty room, filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said, They’d never fight again.

And when that paper was all signed, And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads, and grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the street below, Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms,
Lay scattered on the ground.





GI Joe (Jingle Bells)                                                                             
Oh, G.I. Joe don’t you know, War is not the way
War toys only teach our kids, the violent way to play
Oh! G.I. Joe, don’t you know
War is not the way
Let’s teach our kids to live in peace
“cause killing’s not okay

Little kids all learn by what their parents do
so when you buy their toys, it’s really up to you
If you buy them guns, you teach them how to kill
But violence is not a game, anda we have had our fill (Chorus)

You can buy them books and dolls and cars that run
There’s blocks anda bricks anda crayons too
But they don’t need a gun
you can give them hugs anda teach them how to play
So they’ll grow up all safe and sound
anda not get blown away (chorus)
