Stop the world for a second.

Just what would you see?

You'd see the sins of our people,

but also miracles beyond belief.

Think of soldiers fighting,

all for the sake of war.

Stop the world for a second,

and their weapons shall kill no more.

Picture a simple kiss,

or maybe a marriage dance.

Stop the world for a second,

and breathe the air of romance.

Imagine now some other couples,

torn apart with broken hearts.

Stop the world for a second,

and feel the pain of love as it starts.

Believe in a place forgotten,

where suddenly there is hope.

Stop the world for a second,

and the force of peace does cope.
