Recorded in Jamaica, France & Brazil, and featuring the production skills of Mista Savona alongside Bost & Bim, the song is a heartfelt plea to the world to end all discrimination, violence and war, and calling for a new era of human enlightenment & peace. It's an important message in these dark times when the West is trying to normalise the bombing of schools, hospitals and churches, and when civilians are being targeted and killed in their tens of thousands. Conservative estimates are that at least 20,000 women and children have died in Gaza so far. It's horrific and needs to end immediately.

WE WANT WORLD PEACE (Lyrics)
Today
I and I express the noblest aspiration of man
The assurance of human rights and fundamental freedom for all without distinction as to race
Whoa, yeh, ay ay
Hey ay, ah, ah, ah yes
They take it too far
Well here comes
CHORUS
World peace, world peace
We're stopping the siege
Allow the people to go back on their feet
We want world peace, world peace
Let all wars cease,
Pack up your forces and go back where you live
You nuh see Gaza a blaze, and the people a bleed
They take it too far, they will stop at the grave
So give me world peace, world peace
We're stopping the siege
Allow the people to go back on their feet
Agreement was made, the shells them laid down without fire
As we pray, let the peace time reign
Bless the children, be safe, and Jah know we are scared
Let the silence be felt
No more gunshot blaze, ay
Innocent dying while the leaders laugh
Watch how they're lying to your face, and the media talks
I've seen war before, but this a massacre
And I'm not sure when it will end in a Gaza
CHORUS
We want world peace, world peace
We're stopping the siege
Allow the people to go back on their feet
We want world peace, world peace
Let all wars cease,
Pack up your forces and go back where you live
You nuh see Gaza a blaze, and the people a bleed
They take it too far, they will stop at the grave
So give me world peace, world peace
We're stopping the siege
Allow the people to go back on their feet
Yeh, yeh
So many youths, sit around innocent
College graduates still depend on parents
Were drafted and sent to war
And all they got is just a coffin and a flag,
Inna army camouflage
No settlement after the peace talk
Long argument a bare question mark, move off
Now they're ramping up, too many life lost
No defences on the front, it is a purge not a war
Guns and bombshells, entire city burn what a damn hell, you nah see it
Roadblocks, hungry people can't get dem food aid
Hospitals for the injured been bombed, blast and raid
if that will never stop then tell me who get paid
A di same massacre me see a gwaan again
Like in Iraq, and Congo, Sudan and Ukraine
Palestine lives all in pain
CHORUS
We want world peace, world peace
We're stopping the siege
Allow the people to go back on their feet
Give we World Peace, World Peace
All war have to cease,
Pack up your forces and go back where you live
See Gaza blaze, and the people a bleed
They take it too far, them will stop at the grave
We want world peace, world peace
All war haffi cease
Allow the people to go back on their feet
Jah Rastafari
Tioday
I and I express the noblest aspiration of man
The adjuration of force in the settlement of dispute between States
The assurance of human rights and fundamental
freedom for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion
Whoa, yeh, ay ay
Hey ay, ah, ah, ah yes
They take it too far
Whoa, yeh, ay ay
Hey ay, ah, ah, ah yes
They take it too far
