This song is based around the chord sequence of Pachelbel’s Canon and uses samples from The Farm’s ‘Altogether Now’. Here’s the backing track if you want to sing it yourself (this would suit a BoyBand or a GirlBand of 4/5 people I think).
VERSE 1
There’s a hundred thousand reasons why we should all stay home
Lock our windows and our doors and minds, go to sleep alone
There’s just one reason why we should come together here
Together we’ll say “We’re not going away, until the light appears”
CHORUS 1
One Day of Hope, One Day of Joy
One Love war can never destroy
One Heart that guides us on our way
One Dream of Peace… One Day, Peace One Day
VERSE 2
There’s a hundred thousand people here, cryin’ out in pain
The war was never our idea, it’s someone else’s game
There’s just one reason why we’re workin’ through this night
Come dawn in this land we’re gonna take a stand, and turn these wrongs to rights
CHORUS 2
One Day of Hope, One Day of Joy
One Love war can never destroy
One Heart that guides us on our way
One Dream of Peace… One Day, Peace One Day
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
CHORUS 3
One Heart that guides us on our way
One Dream of Peace… One Day, Peace One Day
Peace One Day, Peace One Day, Peace One Day
