LYRICS:
Peace in our Hearts
Eliza Gilkyson
Gonna walk together arm in arm
With peace in our hearts (x2)
Gonna walk together arm in arm
So our sisters and brothers won’t come to any harm
And we know we’ve got peace in our hearts
Gonna walk with every color and tribe
With peace in our hearts (X2)
Gonna walk with every color and tribe
Cause we’re stronger together when we’re on the same side
And we know we’ve got peace in our hearts
Gonna stand for the earth and our children too
With peace in our hearts (x2)
Gonna stand for the earth and our children too
Cause it’ll take everyone to make our dreams come true
And we know we’ve got peace in our hearts
Gonna stare into the face of the hateful mind
With peace in our hearts (x2)
Gonna stare into the face of the hateful mind
Cause all we gotta do is let our love light shine
And we know we’ve got peace in our hearts

Where can I get guitar tabs for solo and lead lines?

[@volkytolky7609]

uprising

[@victoredwards0530]

It has some musical attraction but is sappy at best. Peace in our hearts comes from one source and only one source: faith in Jesus Christ the Lord. Is that what they are meaning to convey? I suspect not...

[@jegoins1]

As if a tribute to John Lewis
