Let's Give The World A Chance

tanka:

different gods
different worlds
in the shards of war
i try looking for
one god for peace

free verse poetry;

Let's give peace a chance
Let's go out and dance
Let's wind up our fight
To terminate our plight
Let's give ourselves a chance
Let's let down our hair and dance
To the music of love and peace
Let's not be aliens in our own land
Let's close ranks and be friends
No more war, no more pain
Let's make our mothers happy
Our children smile
And our fathers proud
Let's spread our love to each other
From that purest corner of our heart
Where the Almighty has dwelt
And taught us since the day
He brought us to this world
Let's give him a chance too
To make his revelations to us
Let's us make this earth
a wonderful place for each other
So that our children too
Can be proud of us and partake
in this song
let's give our children a chance
let's give ourselves a chance
le's give allah, jehovah, buddha,
and every god a chance
in our quest for truth, peace

Give Peace A Chance

Recorded live at the varsity stadium, toronto, 13 september 1969
-"ah, this is what we came for really...
It's, eh...'give peace a chance' so sing along with it.
I've forgotten all the bits in between but i know the chorus so..."
Ein, schwei, ein, schwei, drei, vier!
Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout:
Bagism and dragism and bagism and shagism-ism,
That-ism, prisonism, ism, ism.
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout:
Revolution, evolution, masturbation,
Castration, united nations, congratulation,
Maybe, maybe.
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout:
John and yoko, eric clapton, klaus voorman,
Penny lane, roosevelt, nixon, tommy jones and
Tommy cooper, that's all there.
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Give The People In The World A Chance

Give the people in the world
A chance to embrace peace
Give the people in the world
A chance to make friends
Give the people in the world
A chance for a better education
So it can help them to get
A better paying job
Give the people in the world
A chance for them to love each other
Give a chance for the people in the world to pray
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn
To be happy
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn
To eat healthy
And to learn to take better care of their health
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn how to relax
And to learn how to cope with their anger

Ill Bet You A Kangaroo

(larry murray)
Well Ill bet you a kangaroo
We could all dance to a didjeridoo
Everybodys looking for something new
Bet you something old could get to you
Come on boys, give it a chance
Adelaide ladies just love to dance
Come on boys, give it a chance
All gods children just love to dance
Well Ill bet you a kangaroo
The worlds been waiting for a didjeridoo
Theres a new day coming and it wont be long
When we can all lean on a one-note song
Come on boys, give it a chance
London ladies just love to dance
Come on boys, give it a chance
All gods children just love to dance
Listen boys, I hear thunder
Rolling up from a way down under
Theres a flash on the horizon
Like a midnight sun arising
Matilda is awaking
The world is awaiting for a song
Youve been waltzing way too long
Matilda I think its time
You did a step all of your own
Youve been waltzing away too long
Matilda is awaiting
The world is awaiting for a song
Come on boys, give it a chance
Nashville ladies just love to dance
Come on boys, give it a chance,
All gods children just love to dance
Ill bet you a kangaroo
The worlds been waiting for a didjeridoo
Theres a new day coming and it wont be long
When we can all lean on a one-note song
Come on boys, give it a chance
Nashville ladies just love to dance
Come on boys, give it a chance
All gods children just love to dance

Giving Peace A Chance (2008 version)

I keep reading about, little ones dying, parents crying, politicians lying, generals denying, their truth, I’m not buying

It’s never too late to Give Peace A Chance

I’m sick of reading about, free elections, UN inspection, man’s imperfections, the wrong directions, it’s time for reflection.

All I am Asking is Give Peace A Chance

The world is full of man’s inhumanity, A presidents animosity, talking about equality, respect their dignity, all we want is honesty.

I won’t stop asking to Give Peace A Chance

I’m tired of hearing about the neverending constitutions, that should be in the institutions, speaking of more devolution, The church’s stance on evolution, do we need a revolution? ?

I’ll keep on asking you to Give Peace A Chance.

I’m sick of reading about your phoney war, I’ve said this before, I don’t want to bore, I need to be sure, what are we fighting for?

Just keep on asking do Give Peace A Chance

Western Leaders telling us to be strong, where do we belong, this war is all wrong, I can’t just go along, it’s gone on too long

All I am asking is Give Peace A Chance

Give Yourself A Chance

Since thousands of years
Colors and religions are fighting against each other
But - where ever you are
Who ever you are
Give yourself a chance
For peace on earth
I'm back with the track
I'm white not black
But the color doesn't matter
So now step back
Brown or black or white no matter what
You now what time it is
It's time to say enough
Cause every nation in a situation
You know its time for a combination
See what they spray up on the wall
Stop the war
That's not your fault
Give yourself a chance
Right now
Give yourself a chance
For peace on earth
Give yourself a chance
Right now
Give yourself a chance
For peace on earth
You better listen
To what i got to say
I got the mic in my hand and i am on my way
It's not terminator, not superman
Not a bad story of the ku-klux-klan
It's like a picture
And it starts to shine
It's bright in colors, so open your mind
Give yourself a chance
Take it in your hand
Give yourself a chance
Got to understand
There's a nightmare were dreaming of
Cold violence and war
What we are living for
Is love we adore

One More Chance

Written by anastacia newkirk - oji pierce
Can we talk a while?
cause I need you
Lord, I miss your smile
Said, I need you
I know Im not the same, ya see
If we could only be, the way it was
Then Id never let you go
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no
Just one more chance
I know that I hurt you
Dont you realize?
Confused, thought we were through
Can I tell you that i, I never felt like this?
This pain, I cant ignore
I want you back, and Ill never let you go
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no
Just one more chance
Its not the way we planned it
Or the way its gonna be
Just give me half a chance to make your heart believe
cause I know just how you feel
I can see it in your eyes
Theres nothing in this world
That can tear this love apart
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no, no, no
No no no
One more chance
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know, dont you know
Its killing me?
To sing this song
Ill never let you down
Just one more chance
One more chance

Love Is Calling Give Me A Chance

Love is calling give me a chance
Give me one more reluctant chance
Love is calling give me hope
Give me a minute an hour
Let me prove I can change
Give me a minute an hour
And I'll prove even a wilting bloom
Can live and fulfill a promise

Love is calling give me a chance
Give me one more reluctant chance
And I'll move heaven and earth
And turn all this flotsam and surf away
And switch on the sun
And turn this hellish feeling into
A kingdom of heaven you can depend upon

Love is calling give me a chance
Give me one more reluctant chance
And like a star I'll make your hear feel fusion
Give me one more reluctant chance
And I'll show you the real reluctant me
That was fearful to be just there
When you turned around for me

Love is calling give me a chance
Give me one more reluctant chance
For you and me!
For you and me!
For you and me!
For you and me!
For you and me!

One More Chance

By eric clapton
Give me one more chance to make it up to you.
Give me one more chance to show what I can do.
Let me prove to you that my love is strong.
Wont you come back home, thats where you belong.
Oh baby, wont you give me one more chance?
Wont you give me one more chance?
Well, the sun wont shine and it refuse to rain,
And I bang my heard, but I feel no pain.
Then I tell myself that I could start anew,
But I know darn well it all depends on you.
Chorus
So if you hear this song, you might change your mind
And give a thought to me, I wont be hard to find,
And Ill promise you to do the best I can,
Change my evil ways and be your loving man.
Chorus
So, give me one more chance to make it up to you.
Give me one more chance to show what I can do.
Let me prove to you that my love is strong.
Wont you come back home, thats where you belong.
Chorus
Wont you give me one more chance?

Give Me A Chance

In time this fire will turn to ashes
The sun will fall out the sky
Still you see no urgency
To spend some time with me
Time with me
I cant believe you havent noticed
Just how long Ive been waitin for you
Ive been such a patient man
But I still dont understand
You wont
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
How I care
Its hard to know just what youre thinkin
You cloak yourself in mistery
Conversations always brief
Like a sigh with no relief
You wont
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
If you dare
You gotta give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance to show how much I care
Give me a chance to show how much I love you
Give me a chance

Take One More Chance

Ooh, I dont understand,
In this crazy world we live in,
Just look around, is it true?
No one gives a damn.
Trapped in a world of illusion,
Is it too late for us, ooh?
Baby, well never know why were stranded here,
Lost in this crowded room,
I noticed you the minute you came into view.
But youre so hard to me,
Oh, why do I care for you so?
I never ever doubt, my love,
The time is oh so right for love.
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.
I dont understand,
Been avoiding me all evening.
Each time I looked you just dance,
Again on the floor.
Like life itself had no meaning.
If I could touch you,
But oohooh, deep in my heart I know,
Theres a destiny,
Through all this sadness I see.
Its not too late to change, my love,
Tonight the stars are made for love.
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.
[one more chance] take one more glance and give our life a chance.
[one more chance] take one more glance and give our life a chance.
[one more chance] take one more chance, this is the last dance.

Let's Give Peace A Chance

Can peace be attained in a war-torn world
Or is his a dream never to be fulfilled
Could war be replaced as love unfolds
Is there a special secret yet to reveal

I say we must all give peace a chance
No matter what obstacles lie in the way
For even Christ when pierced by the lance
Could still forgive mankind anyway

We must all walk with our brother hand in hand
It does not matter though he be white, red or black
Be forever ready to solve conflicts when we can
Seek peace in the future, forgive and not look back

Ghandi taught love and peace and so did Martin Luther King
Wars still came since hearts refused to reflect and listen
And in the past another tried and they crucified him
So you must show love and give peace a chance to glisten

And whether you are Catholic, Protestant or Jew
Give peace a chance, over and over, again and again
Let God take reign in your heart, making all things new
Thereby making all races, colors and creeds your friend

Will There Be A Chance

Is there for me any chance,
That in my life...
I might witness,
A world in peace.

Is there for me any chance,
That in my life...
There would be people,
Living in harmony.

And is there any chance,
I might not have a need...
To suspect,
I'm deceived.
Or hated...
For who I am!
Or what it is I believe.

And will I hear rejoicing,
From voices surrounding me.
Is there any chance that people,
Will live in respect to give...
And receive.

Is there any chance,
People will awaken to see the light.
Any chance,
People one day will end all their fights.
Any chance.
And chance.
Any chance,
People will awaken to see the light.
Any chance,
People one day will end all their fights.
Any chance.
And chance.
Any chance!
Will there be a chance.

One More Chance

(michael masser/gerry goffin)
Feel like a fool
Not realizing all the value you had
I took a happy ending and made it sad
The day I walked away and left you alone
With hardly an explanation
You stood on your own
And handled the situation
And showed to me
How understanding you could be
Now Im alone
Looking back at all the years that we shared
Thinking of the pain you should have been spared
Afraid to ask forgiveness
But where can I go
Theres no one else to turn to
I still have my pride
But now its time to learn to cast it aside
And come to you with honesty
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing Im asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isnt that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isnt that what were fighting for?
Why throw away a love that needs one more chance
Now Im afraid that after all Ive said
Youll still turn me down and youll smile
And say Ill see you around
But remember that you still have a choice
And I hope and pray youll make it
Youll think of my heart
And you wont wanna break it
And Ill prove to you the kind of lady I can be
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing Im asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isnt that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isnt that what were fighting for?
One more chance
Dont you know that we belong together
One more chance
Now I really need you more than ever
One more chance
You and I can really make it baby
One more chance
All you have do is say the words to
One more chance
One more
One more chance
One more chance

Don't

Don't!
Don't... don't you wish we tried?
Do you feel what I feel inside?
You know our love is stronger than pride... oh
No don't... don't let your anger grow
Just tell me what you need me to know
Please talk to me, don't close the door
Hmmm, 'cause I wanna hear you
I wanna be near you
[Chorus]
Don't fight, don't argue
Give me the chance to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away
Don't tell me to go
Don't!... Don't give up on trust
Don't give up on me, on us
If we could just hold on long enough
Hmmm, we can do it
we'll get through it
[Chorus]
Don't fight, don't argue
Just give me the chance to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away, don't tell me to go
Don't pretend that it's okay
Things won't get better that way
Don't do something you might regret someday...
Don't!
[dobro solo, instrumental]
Don't give up on me
Hmm, Don't!
(We can do it) We'll get through it
[Chorus]
Don't fight, don't argue
Just give me the chance to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away, don't tell me to go
Don't! (Don't fight dont argue)
Don't give up on me
(Give me the chance to say that I'm sorry)
Say that that I'm sorry
(Just let me love you)
Don't give up on me
(Don't turn me away)
Don't tell me to go
Don't!
(Don't fight don't argue)
Don't give up on me

Give Me A Chance

(odette quesada)
I need you... is all that I can say
But deep inside of me you know
I want you more each day
But time wont let me have the chance
So, Ive got to see you even at a glance
I know its hard for you to see
Exactly how much you mean to me
Since its just a one way street
And Im the only whos on it
No one knows the way but me
Refrain:
I love you... cant you hear me?
Oh, cant you please see through me
Oh, babe I need your love so badly
Its no lie so please believe me
In my heart youll see the real me
You just gotta give me a chance
Since I got that off my chest
I need to let you know is
I really did my best
To keep this feeling inside
But theres just no place to hide
So, please be my love...
I love you... cant you hear me?
Oh, cant you please see through me
Oh, babe I need your love so badly
Its no lie so please believe me
In my heart youll see the real me
You just gotta give me a chance
Give me a chance...
Give me a chance...
Give me a chance...
Give me a chance...

Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
Im holdin on just like you told me
I put my heart right on the line
You know your love it really sold me
But I never had the chance to make you mine
Chorus
You said youd never say its over
Well I guess my heart cant beat your pride
You said Id always be your lover
But youre gone and my tears still havent dried

Half a chance before you turn and walk away

Last Dance

(wally bryson)
Wont you let me get to know you?
Given the time I could show you
How good it feels to be in love
Nice to have someone thinking of you
If I had the chance with you
Id ask for the last dance with you
Wed dance away into the night
Know that you shouldnt be sharing
All of those nights with your mother
Staring at you staring at her
Thinking of places you wish you were
If I had the chance with you
Id ask for the last dance with you
Wed dance away into the night
Couldnt you give me a chance for a while?
Given the time I know I could make you smile
And once you let me get to know you
And give me the time and I show you
How good it feels to be in love
At night youll have someone thinking of you
If I had the chance with you
Id ask for the last dance with you
Wed dance away into the night
When I get my chance with you
Ill make enough romance for two
Well dance away into the night

And im still here alone
I look trough my window and I surrender
Should be gone
But I have no place to go

Last chance to get up
Last chance to go

If there was love
Id let it take me away
But I just stay here alone

Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
I feel nothing I feel no pain
I feel no joy nor hurt inside
I only have myself to blame
If I see that the worlds passed me by

Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
