Lyrics & Music: Gottfried Hummel 2025 Edition Hummel Ton

May the earth become peaceful
Yes, I have this dream
Without wars, hatred, and terror
Peace for you and me.

1. When I look out at the world, I’m horrified
By all these wars, without rhyme or reason.
I can’t understand it—how can this be?
How can people be so inhumane,
As cold as an iceberg.

2. Your own life is important—of course!
To master it, you need strength—that’s clear.
To honor others with respect and humanity—
It’s still possible—try it, be ready!
Come on! Open your hearts wide!
