When the lamb lies down next to the lion Then real peace will prevail on the earth. When not even one child will be crying Then all people will value their worth.

As all prejudice dies and is buried With a vision of hate laid to rest, When our hearts let love's banner be carried Then as humans we've passed a great test.

It takes courage for strength to be gentle Or the gentle to trust who are strong Yet to live with a fear mostly mental Could confuse what is right from what's wrong

But it's time to let go of hurt feelings And release what you don't understand. NOW's the time for old wounds to be healing And acknowledge ALL people as grand.

Thus the message the Angels are bringing, "It takes courage to be who you are," Can be heard in the songs they are singing To assure you that peace can't be far.
