Braided Light

These colorful wristbands were braided with love,

by children in shelters

who dream of a better world.

I have a promise in my heart,

A gentle way to play my part.

Purple means I won't use my hands to fight,

I choose to be gentle,

I choose to be light.

I am NVP, yes I am!

Making peace throughout the land.

Purple, gold, and green,

The peaceful colors I have seen.

Peace begins with me,

For everyone to see.

Gold is for my body bright,

Treating it with all my might.

Respect myself, respect my friends,

The kindness never, ever

ends.

I am NVP, yes I am!

Making peace throughout the land.

Purple, gold, and green,

The peaceful colors I have seen.

With threads of love,

they are woven tight,

By children dreaming of a peaceful light.

Bracelets of hope upon my skin,

Purple, gold, and green,

let the peace begin! (yeah!)

Peace begins with me,

For everyone to see.

Green is for the earth we share,

Showing nature that we care.

Every tree and every bee,

Living in harmony.

I am NVP, yes I am!

Making peace throughout the land.

Purple, gold, and green,

The peaceful colors I have seen!

Peace begins with me...

Peace begins with me...

Braided with love...

Yes, I am!

(peace begins with me)
