from The American Enterprise Manifesto: My America's Vision of Peace and Nonviolence for Humanism · host Jerry Rhoads

SONG OF PEACEI’ve heard of the wars of evil I’ve seen the ravagesof man I’ve read of the primevalI have followed the Ten CommandI have marched to the music of othersI have saluted our flag’s flareI’ve respected my brothersI have bowed my head in prayerIhave shed a tear for all who decease I have thanked God that love was thereAnd now I write a song of peace To veterans a call a voice to care Singing we shall overcome Under one sunOne flag OneGod Wars be done That we can only live as oneIf we can touch each other’s hand Reach out touch the tips that healsFor it is the brotherhood to band Around beliefs and idealsBy touching each other and being one We are united together we stand We are the same under the sunWe live in freedom of this land We worship the same God We love for the same reasons We cultivate the same sodWe live through the same seasons And having read the poet’s lines We are the same in the Maker’s eyesYes, I’ve seen the signsAs all come upon the earth with the same mirth About our energy source and how we must not ceaseAnd we must live together in happinessImploring the credence of my song of peace And attempting to climb out of the abyss To have lived in God’s eyes at all Then and only then will the family of manStanding for peace or together we fallBe at Peace and make a stand Against warsAgainst power and closed doors Against unfettered GovernmentAgainst control of resources and where they went Against the song for war that promotes decentFor in peace, we stand In the grace of what’s rightSharing the prosperity from the land With no guns to fight Singing we shall overcome Under one sunOne flag One GodFor we can only live as one Wars be donePeace has won A Song of PeaceThroughout history, humanity has witnessed countless warsand the devastation they bring. The struggles and ravages caused by mankind echo through time, serving as a somber reminder of our past. Guided by ancient wisdom and moral principles such as the Ten Commandments, we strive to build a better future.I have marched to the rhythm of others, proudly saluting ournation’s flag and honoring my fellow citizens. In moments of reflection, I bow my head in prayer, showing respect for those who have gone before us and shedding tears for those lost. Grateful for the presence of love, I now raise my voice in a song of peace—a call to care for our veterans and a plea forcompassion.With the refrain “We shall overcome,” I envision a worldunited under one sun, one flag, and one God. The aspiration is clear: let wars end so that we may live as one. True unity is possible only when we reach out to each other, extend healing hands, and band together in the spirit ofbrotherhood, grounded in shared beliefs and ideals.By embracing each other and standing as one, we form aunited front. Beneath the same sun, we share freedom and worship the same God. Our love springs from common reasons, and we tend the same land through changing seasons. Our energy and resolve must never falter; together, we mustchoose happiness and heed the message of peace. Escaping the depths of division, we seek to live in accordance with divine guidance. Only through unity will the family of mankind stand strong, championing peace for all.Now is the time to stand against war, unchecked power,secrecy, and the excessive control of resources. We must reject the call to conflict and instead promote decency and grace. In the pursuit of peace, we share the prosperity of our land without resorting to violence, ensuring that the values of justice and right prevail.Let us sing together: “We shall overcome.” Under one sun,one flag, and one God, we affirm that living as one is our highest calling. May wars cease and peace prevail, for when peace has won, humanity truly thrives.Jerry Rhoads
