Lyrics:

There's a road between our lands where we can always go
To walk together peacefully and say things from our soul
It's not too hot, it's not too cold, it's not too left or right
Let's stay a pair on this road we share and never, never fight

____________________________________________________________________

The St. Louis Peace Choir is a secular choir of St. Louis pacifists and peace activists. Come sing with us! We meet every Sunday evening at 7:00 for a candlelight Peace Vigil. The Peace Vigils take place on the steps of College Church (St. Louis University) at the corner of Grand and Lindell. These pleasant little weekly happenings are short (only a half hour) and largely silent, but we begin and end them with a song. Weather never stops us. Snowing? Wear boots. Raining? Bring an umbrella. Candles (battery) and laminated music sheets will be provided.
