Open your hearts to the paradise,
To the peace of the heavenly angels,
Take away that woeful shadow dancing on your wall;
Take to the skies of peace, oh friends,
Of peace of the one great spirit;
Get ready for my bugle call of peace.
Peace, peace, peace,
I can hear the bugle sounding,
Roaming around my land, my city and my town;
Peace, peace, peace,
I can hear the voices ringing,
Louder while my bugle calls for peace.
Thick war clouds will throw their shadows,
Darkening the world around you,
But in my life of peace your dark illusions fall;
Think and pray along the way,
Embrace the ones around you;
Get ready for my bugle call of peace.
If these war storms fill your heart
With a thousand kinds of worry,
Keep to my road of peace, you’ll never have to fear;
Keep in the sun and look around
At the face of peace and plenty;
Get ready for my bugle call of peace.
I’ll clear my house of the weeds of fear
And turn to the friends around me,
With my smile of peace, I’ll greet you one and all;
I’ll work, I’ll fight, I’ll dance and sing,
Of peace of the youthful spirit;
Get ready for my bugle call of peace.
