Peace begins with you and me.
The first days of 2021 seemed to have a little more hope as vaccines started rolling out in the United States and worldwide. Then, what we saw on the news made all our guts wrench. Just when we think we've seen it all, something else despicable happens. This time, at the "citadel of liberty" in Washington D.C. In these moments, we can feel hopeless and scared. However, in these moments, we have to remember that love is a choice, that brotherhood is a state of living, and that peace starts in our own hearts. We can be the difference in the world, our world, by just starting out the day with a new mindset. A new heart. This song is a beautiful reminder of that, and it is the basis of my hope for this year. 2021.
“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” - Nelson Mandela

LYRICS
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let There Be Peace on Earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
