I am a child for peace who likes to wonder.
I wonder about time and existence.
I hear the gurgling of a woodland brook.
I see the flapping of dove's wings.
I want to live in a world of peace and serenity.
I am a child for peace who likes to wonder.
I pretend that I'm flying on an ivory dragon in a land far beyond.
I feel the gentleness of a lotus petal.
I worry about the way the media portrays my religion.
I cry for the innocent people dying and suffering.
I am a child for peace who likes to wonder.
I understand the beauty of nature.
I say that I can make a difference, but then I feel hopeless.
I dream of soaring through wispy clouds without a care.
I try to find peace in a corrupt world.
I hope for the best for all.
I am a child for peace who likes to wonder.
