[Verse 1] The sky is turning gold On the mango road You lean on the fence And the breeze moves slow Children kicking dust By the corner shop Old man by the sea wall Says, “let kindness not stop” [Pre-Chorus] Hold my hand Let it be easy One small smile Can change the evening [Chorus] Peace in our hands Love in our hands Unity now Unity now (oh, hold it close) Peace in our hands Love in our hands We rise as one We rise as one [Verse 2] Mama on the porch With a pot of stew Brother with a drum Keeps the rhythm true No need for loud talk No need for a fight We can build a bridge Out of doing right [Pre-Chorus] Hold my hand Let it be easy One small smile Can change the evening [Chorus] Peace in our hands Love in our hands Unity now Unity now (oh, hold it close) Peace in our hands Love in our hands We rise as one We rise as one [Bridge] If your heart feels heavy Rest it here tonight Lay the sharp things down And step into the light Different names, same longing Same beat in the chest When we move together We bring out the best [Final Chorus] Peace in our hands Love in our hands Unity now Unity now (oh, hold it close) Peace in our hands Love in our hands We rise as one We rise as one Peace in our hands Love in our hands Stay here with me Stay here with me
