Lyrics & Translation
Where peace shines brighter than a memory
Without the light it brings, one can no longer
Find the path of hope
Feel the time has come to dry the tears of men
Becoming a brother and extending a hand
Only love changes what has been done
And the strength of peace brings everyone together again
Come, it's time to light the flame of life
And make the whole earth happy
If you are able to let your voice out
Through the air like a children's prayer
Then you should start, others will follow you
And sing with harmony and hope
Let this song wash away the world's weeping
To bring forgiveness and share the bread
Only love changes what has been done
And the strength of peace brings everyone together again
Come, it's time to light the flame of life
And make the whole earth happy
How much pain and suffering around we still have
To keep the faith and the dream of those who are still to come
The lesson for the future comes from the soul and the heart
To seek peace, don't look back with love
If you start, others will follow you
And sing with harmony and hope
Let this song wash away the world's weeping
To bring forgiveness and share the bread
Only love changes what has been done
And the strength of peace brings everyone together again
Come, it's time to light the flame of life
And make the whole earth happy
Only love changes what has been done
And the strength of peace brings everyone together again
Come, it's time to light the flame of life
And make the whole earth happy
Only love changes what has been done
And the strength of peace brings everyone together again
Come, it's time to light the flame of life
And make the whole earth happy
Come, it's time to light the flame of life
And make the whole earth happy
