Love in hard times

What could happen when we live and share from our hearts?

Five years ago, 3000 diverse people who never met before were invited to gather and sing together in Haifa in three different languages to celebrate coexistence.

It took about an hour to learn all the parts and the result is stunning and deeply touching.

We share it in gratitude, sending peace and love to places in war, and to the wars happening in our human hearts. Hoping we can plant seeds of compassion and empathy all around.

Lyrics:

One day
One day
One day

Sometimes I lay under the moon
And thank God I'm breathing
Then I pray don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reason

Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around because...

All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
There'll be no more wars
And our children will play

One day
One day
One day

One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Stop with the violence
Down with the hate

One day we'll all be free
And proud to be
Under the same sun
Singing songs of freedom like...

Stop!

One day
One day
One day

Tomorrow
The day will come
The day will come
Tomorrow

All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
There'll be no more wars
And our children will play

One day
One day
One day

Tomorrow the day will come
One day

This singing for peace was organised and led by Koolulam, a social-musical initiative, meant to bring together people from any and all walks of life. Their core aim is to simply stop everything for a few hours and just sing together.
