Vrede is een bloem

Blindelingse Greep nr.32 in de RG-Collectie is The Radio Nordsee International Story – narrated by Andy Archer. De dubbel-LP is zo te zien in brokken terug te vinden op YT, maar ik kies liever een los muzieknummer dat gezichtsbepalend was voor RNI, naast Man of action.
De zanger heet Peter Hallett, de auteur Peter Gosling. De artiestennaam is kortweg “Peter”.

Peace is a flower
That grows in the sunshine
its petals are raised to the sky
Peace is harmony,
love and understanding
Oh why can’t we have peace all the time?

Peace is a bird
that hangs on the breeze
watching the world hurry by
Peace is purity,
faith and inspiration
Oh why can’t we have peace all the time?
It’s something there’s not too plenty of
and time
is governed by the almighty up above

Peace is a flower
That grows in the sunshine
its petals are raised to the sky,
to the sky
Oh Lord, to the sky
Oh oh yes, to the sky.
