Translation from the Hebrew:
Some people say peace is a dove
White, with an olive branch in its beak
Some people say peace is a flag
White, rising to a peak
Some people say peace is a symbol
Stripes, stripes inside a circle
But I say peace is a goal
A goal to the human soul
—
People say victory brings peace
And makes battles cease
I truly hope all people wish
that wars “may rest in peace”
Some people feel peace makes them kind
Other thinks it’s a state of mind
May you go in peace – farewell they wish
But I say – reconciliation is peace
—
In other words
I say peace is just one word
Don’t worry
Just say “Sorry”
Hearts open slightly
Hands look for a shake
We all wish for love
Wishing peace to make
Souls brace souls
In search of brotherhood – our goal
No, no, no, it is not a dream
We’ll bring it here – we’ll bring this PEACE
