This song is about the Great Peace March that walked across the America in 1986, but it could be about any movement or migration of people that had a positive impact on the townsfolk they met along the way.
Lyrics
They came as refugees to my town, Running from their vision of war. They brought a message to my town, Running from their vision of war: Human minds can change, Peace can be shared, Armies rearranged, Their hearts declared. And the Earth whispered: Peace! They came as family to my town, Living with their vision of peace. They held a candle to my town, Living with their vision of peace. Human minds can change, Earth can be shared. Profits re-arranged, Their hearts declared. And the Earth cried: Peace! They came as soldiers, they came as fathers, They came as righteous, they came as furious, They came a mothers, they came as children, They came as laughter, they came as medicine. Ah! They came as pilgrims to my town, Seeking a vision of peace, They came a long way to my town, Seeking a vision of peace. Human minds can change, Love can be shared, Hatred re-arranged, Their hearts declared. And the Earth sang: Peace! And the Earth sang: Peace!
