Peace Dream Song Lyrics
Peace Dream by Kellee Maize [Hook]
Anything is possible
You can remove all obstacles
Anything is possible
Together we are unstoppable
You can pray the devil back to hell
War to peace, fear to love, the sick made well
Now what are you going to do
To make sure your dreams come true
[Spoken Word]
It’s 2012 and this true story happened several years ago.
Let it be a reminder that you can do anything, and together we can make a difference
[Hook]
Anything is possible
You can remove all obstacles
Anything is possible
Together we are unstoppable
You can pray the devil back to hell
War to peace, fear to love, the sick made well
Now what are you going to do
To make sure your dreams come true
[Verse 1]
I’m tell a lil story, it's full of guts and well it's gory
But listen close and you will see
How a dream can set you free
Be thankful that you breath
And thankful you can speak
That you aren’t in a war zone and that you have a home
Civil war unrest in Africa out west
Liberia in shambles
With young boys they gamble
Lost limbs, full a drugs
Young with machine guns,
Over control, over hate, and over funds
Genocide, rape daily, families on the run
No food, no clothes, no fun
No love, no hope, setting sun
A country of ex-American slaves
Of course it's messed up
No help from the masters
Now selling them diamonds what a disaster
But hope came to a woman in a dream
Despite how it may seem she brought water to her stream and
[Hook]
Anything is possible
You can remove all obstacles
Anything is possible
Together we are unstoppable
You can pray the devil back to hell
War to peace, fear to love, the sick made well
Now what are you going to do
To make sure your dreams come true
[Verse 2]
The women prayin the devil back to hell
Dead bodies rotten, they are sick from the smell
Charles taylor in charge
An evil man at large
Called his movement antiterrorism
Thinkin he’s the Christ that’s risen
Wanted to reconstruct the minds of the children
To make them robotic and stop all the feelin
Raping mothers in front of them, this is real fam
Natural resources, steadily revealin
Money over love, keep on drillin
And concealin the real nature of this killin
The power it can seem oh so appealin
But Leymah, she has a dream
Heads to the church to redeem
Christians and Muslims women gather together
To ends the war religion didn’t measure
The level of love they had for their people
A bullet doesn’t know, Christian from Muslim, in this game we all equal
[Bridge]
Anything is possible
You can remove all obstacles
You can pray the devil back to hell
War to peace, fear to love, sick made well
Now what are you going to do
To make sure your dreams come true
[Verse 3]
Followed the path of
Ester from the bible
Wearing white fighting for their people survival
The women they want peace now
If I die tell them this was how
Went on a sex strike
The men were like
It's time to push and shove
If we want any love
The men join the fight, protestin left and right
Finally the rebels go to Ghana
To have some peace talks n show a lil honor
They treat it like vaca but the women they said no way
Stage a sit in what they say
Leymah and her army ain’t gon play
Then it gets serious
Taylors team is delirious
Hopin he’ll do time, he flees to Nigeria
Charged with war crimes
Disarmament so hard it took time
But they women they cried on the boys
Reminded them that guns are not toys
Peace is a process, not an event
The ensured it happen, were watchful of the men
Many mistakes made by the UN
Women didn’t say if, but when
Soon democratic elections were held
The first woman in Africa was named president
Democratically elected they set a precedent.
[Hook]
Anything is possible
You can remove all obstacles
Anything is possible
Together we are unstoppable
OOO AAA (repeat)
You can pray the devil back to hell
War to peace, fear to love, the sick made well
Now what are you going to do
To make sure your dreams come true
