Schools' Song for Peace - No Wars Will Stop Us Singing
This year, to celebrate International Peace Day (September 21, every year), up and down the UK children in schools, choirs and youth groups have been learning a specially commissioned Song for Peace. Children across the country will sing the song No Wars Will Stop Us Singing on 21 September 2006.
The song was originally written for Youth Music's Singbook by award-winning duo Debbie Wiseman and Don Black. It is promoted by BBC Radio 2 presenter Aled Jones, and the NASUWT teachers' union and the charity Youth Music are leading the celebrations.
Here's the lyrics...
No wars will stop us singingUgly sounds are overhead and the streets are coloured red.
Young lives lost ev’ry day, it’s always been that way.
But we believe one day we’ll see a world at peace, in harmony.
And that is why we say:No wars will stop us singing;
our voices will stay strong.
Even through the darkest night
we will sing our song.No fear will stop us dreaming;
our dreams will light the sky.
Even when all hope is gone
our dreams will not die.We are the future;
we are tomorrow;
we are the peace that you all crave.
If our lives are taken we’ll sing from beyond the grave.We are the future;
we are tomorrow;
the peace that you all crave.
We’ll sing from beyond the grave.No wars will stop us singing;
our voices will stay strong.
Even through the darkest night
we will sing our song.We will sing,
we will sing,
we must sing our song.© 2005 by Don Black
You can download the piano and vocal score from the NASUWT site.
Sarah has been practising this song with Watermill School in Selly Oak, Birminghm, one of the schools that she teaches at. The school will be presenting this song today.

Dear people who own this website.
I sang no wars at school and loved it so much!
Could you please try and put it on Youtube or on Google Video. A few weeks ago I searched for the CD of Songs for Peace and then this website came up and I was able to listen to the song, now I checked on this website and it wasn't there.
Thank you! Name: *******
P.S. I hope you can get the song on either youtube or Google Video or on any other video website!
