“When I was commissioned to write a song for the annual Westheimer Peace Symposium in Wilmington, Ohio, I wanted to address the root causes of violence, both global and interpersonal. This song is my cry for a world based on justice and peaceful conflict resolution”. — Jamie.

Teach peace, unlearn the violence,
respect each other's dignity
Teach peace, unearn the violence,
live peace wherever you be.

Corporate greed's spread war
through many nations,
Let the poor live on rations
while using their land.
We need to seek justice,
Justice for all nations
Justice for all races on Earth.

Teach peace, unlearn the violence,
respect each other's dignity
Teach peace, unearn the violence,
Live peace wherever you be.

People beware! We've waged war
on our surroundings,
In our poisons we are drowning,
Can't we understand?
We need to seek peace,
seek peace with God's creation,
Learn to give, not just be taking from Earth.

Teach peace, unlearn the violence,
respect each other's dignity
Teach peace, unearn the violence,
live peace wherever you be.


It seems everywhere
the seeds of war are ragin',
One upmanship is takin' us
over the edge.
We need to settle down,
sit down at the table,
Solve a conflict
when we're able, agree.

Teach peace, unlearn the violence,
respect each other's dignity
Teach peace, unearn the violence,
live peace wherever you be.

Teach peace, unlearn the violence,
respect each other's dignity
Teach peace, unearn the violence,
live peace wherever you be ..

Teach peace, unlearn the violence ..
