GLOBAL PEACE MAKERS
Come nigh all ye that crave for unity
The night is here, let's dine in parity
We're not strangers, we all belong to humanity
Save your heart from grudges, let's live in liberty
Let the heavens be our witness
Let the Sun say "I saw their kindness"
Our love for humanity and our oneness
Let them hail our fitness and readiness
Now, we will say to the fast callings of war, no way
Then we part ways with violence and say nay
Every ear will hear the cry of another even when we're far away
Like unto Jacob and Esau, we will make peace in a day
Come now from every corner of the earth
Leave behind all that will not honour our planet
Even your guns, beliefs and your faith
What we crave is here, so make haste.
From Africa down to our beloved Asia
People of Europe and the hoods of Australia
Beloved brothers from north and south America
Be happy peace is for all, even our Antarctica
Light up your cities, for it is come
Bring out your cymbals and all your drums
For peace is here, let's all say a welcome
Come now and merry for we are now one home.

Nicely written. Note, however, that peacemakers is a single word.
