Deep in our hearts

we hold a longing for peace

We pray for a time

when the fighting will cease

Deep in our hearts

we hold a longing for peace

We pray for a time

when the fighting will cease

Our frightened children

running for their lives

Violence steals their innocence

Only sadness in their eyes

Just for being born

of a race or a creed

The fallen angels

of political greed

Hold your fire

Hold your fire

Hold your fire

Hold for those who love

for you, and for me

Hold your fire

Hold your fire

Hold your fire

Hold for those who love

for you, and for me

We are tired

We are tired

Two lovers torn apart

He weeps to the sky

She paid with her life

No time to say goodbye

Two lovers torn apart

He weeps to the sky

She paid with her life

No time to say goodbye

No, no time to say goodbye

Hold your fire

Hold your fire

Hold your fire

Hold for those who love

for you, and for me

Hold your fire

Hold your fire

Hold your fire

Hold for those who love

for you, and for me
