Lyrics

Peace isn’t found at the end of a gun – no,
Peace means we all have enough.

Let’s help each other!
Let’s live our lives – happily!
More than ever …

Peace means no exploitation
Peace means we can aspire to more

We are free!
Yeah!

… and there is enough for all

2008 I worked out the chords over several years. They solidified in 2008.

Musicians

You are welcome to perform and record this song at the speed you prefer and in the key you want.

This is copyrighted material. You can earn passive income by recording and performing this song. As it slowly becomes more popular, what is at first a trickle of royalties grows over time into something that is always providing for you.

Stems

Stems are helpful for musicians who need to learn how to play a song. After downloading audio stems, they can play each stem as a separate track, and adjust the volume of each track according to their requirements. For example, a musician might choose to hear just the stem initially for the instrument they play. Once they have learned their part, they might play all the other stems at normal volume but mute the track they had listened to, so they can practice their part while playing along. Wikipedia has additional information.

Audacity is a popular, free, open-source program that can play stems. It allows you to decide which stems to play, and you can adjust their relative volumes.
