This is My Wish; Peace on Earth

by

THIS IS MY WISH
By Jordin Sparks

This is my wish
My wish for the world
That peace would find its way
To every boy and girl

This is the time
The time for harmony
Let love be the song
That everybody sings

Fill the air with joyful noise
Ring the bells and raise your voice
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Lift your light
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth

I hear the sweetest sound
The sound of hope to come
Together we can bring
Good will to everyone

Fill the air with joyful noise
Ring the bells and raise your voice
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Lift your light
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Fill the air with joyful noise
Ring the bells and raise your voice
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Lift your light
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth

Let there be peace on earth
