ESOL Learners at Watkins House:
Ambassadors of World Peace When wars and conflicts totally cease, In our world, there shall be peace.
Music Galore
People must learn to get along, Not blame others, for being wrong. They fight for control, fight for land, Some just need a helping hand. We must rid ourselves of vanity, And embrace peace, through humanity. Wars make children so much tougher; Lose their innocence, while they suffer. We should fight for peace instead, Love not war, we should spread.
Peace begins with me, starting over and breaking free Peace begins with me, opening my eyes and beginning to see‌
