♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal). Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!

Lyrics:

There are certain topics that divide
Don't Choose Sides
Let's choose to be where peace resides
Don't Choose Sides

No opponents, only friends
No more losses, no more wins
That's the way that peace begins
Don't Choose Sides, Don't Choose Sides
Choose to be where peace resides

There are times when feelings can collide
Don't Choose Sides
Let's choose to be where peace resides
Don't Choose Sides

Spread the word so all can see
On both sides humanity
That's our challenge, you and me
Don't Choose Sides, Don't Choose Sides
Choose to be where peace resides
