SAVE OUR WORLD


"...With love and peace
Let´s make it the way it should be...



My song is one of hope and almost prayer, basically an eternal prayer, and it was written to be a kind of 'anthem' for peace.

If we open our eyes and look beyond our shallow existence, we might be able to see the big picture and what we can achieve together.

I wrote the song in the space of 3 hours over my piano, and the lyrics came from the heart very quickly. Original arrangement for voice and piano but is very much a orchestra or band peace with backing vocals."
