Peace starts within each of us, as we go through our days "taking care of ourselves, each other and the earth."

lyrics

Chorus:
What does peace mean? Peace means taking care of.
What does peace mean? Peace means taking care of.
What does peace mean? Peace means taking care of
Ourselves, each other and the earth.

1. When we take care of ourselves, we get the rest we need.
We eat good and healthy food and exercise our bodies.
We have lots of fun, and we cry when we're sad.
We speak up for ourselves if we're upset or mad.

Chorus

2. When we take care of each other, we help each other out.
We ask each other questions, like "What are you sad about?"
We listen to our stories, we take turns in our play.
We cheer each other on as we find our own way.

Chorus

3. When we take care of the earth, we listen to her ways.
We plant trees and vegetables; live simply everyday.
We treasure all her gifts, the air, the sun, the rain.
We ride our bikes and turn out lights and we don't throw much away!
