Lyrics
For the Sake of Peace
(Words and music by Cory Josias, Veronica Turner, Malcolm Connell, Alex Golding and Howard Jones)
Here I stand with treasured friends
For the future of our land
Thanks to those who led the way
In our hearts, here today
Reaching out to cherish life
In these dark and troubled times
With the flame of hope held high
Noble dream to realise
Build a new life
For the sake of peace
And I will not fail
For the sake of peace
As I brave each raging storm
I go deeper
I grow strong
Climbing on towards the sun
Hear my cry, I have won!
Build a new life
For the sake of peace
And I will not fail
Build a new life
For the sake of hope
And I will not fail
For the sake of peace
