Inspired by lyrics to the “Peace in Our Lifetime” chant by Richard Mekdeci:
One life, one love, one peace in our lifetime – one life at a time.
One Truth, one world, one peace in our lifetime – one life at a time.
One life, one love, one life at a time – one life at a time.
One voice, one choice one peace in our lifetime; one prayer, one dream – one life at a time.
