[00:10.68]We need to stop, just stop
[00:16.15]Stop for a moment
[00:20.30]Before anybody says or does anything
[00:28.10]That may hurt anyone else
[00:33.12]We need to be silent, just silent
[00:38.86]Silent for a moment
[00:43.18]Before we forever lose the blessing of songs
[00:51.53]That grow in our hearts
[00:55.90]We need to notice, just notice
[01:01.63]Notice for a moment
[01:05.83]Before the future slips away
[01:10.87]into ashes and dust of humility
[01:17.78]
[01:20.08]Stop, be silent, and notice
[01:24.27]In so many ways, we are the same
[01:29.96]Our differences are unique treasures 
[01:36.69]We have, we are, a mosaic of gifts
[01:45.62]To nurture, to offer, to accept
[01:54.58]
[01:55.77]We need to be, just be
[02:01.41]Be for a moment
[02:05.66]Kind and gentle,  innocent and trusting
[02:11.22]Like children and lambs
[02:13.78]Never judging or vengeful
[02:16.89]Like the judging and the vengeful
[02:21.99]
[02:22.53]And now, let us pray
[02:27.16]Differently, yet together
[02:33.55]Before there is no earth, no life
[02:39.84]No chance for peace 
[02:46.90]Peace for our world
[02:57.39]For our world....
