Story Behind The Song
I was inspired by a visit to a local mosque - a few weeks later I had the idea of writing a song about peace using the word "Peace" in different languages.
Song Description
A song calling for peace in the world for three voices or choir parts. The chorus is made up of the phrase "Peace be with you" in four different languages and a chant consisting of the word "Peace" in another four languages.

Lyrics
Al salaam, oseh shalom
Solh e jahaani, ha-see-tee
(repeat)
We are sisters, we are brothers
We are children of the world
Ever loving, ever giving
To the light that heals us all
Al salaam, oseh shalom
Solh e jahaani, ha-see-tee
(repeat)
(or chant:)
Hee-peeng, meer, shanti
Meer shanti, jam shanti
Hee-peeng, meer, shanti
Jam shanti (repeat)
Let's be joyful and sing together
For this is our only world
Let all hatred be forgotten
And let patience be our goal
Al salaam, oseh shalom
Solh e jahaani, has-ee-tee
(repeat)
(or chant:)
Hee-peeng, meer, shanti
Meer shanti, jam shanti
Hee-peeng, meer, shanti
Jam shanti (repeat)
