There is PeaceJim Papoulis. The essence
of this work, in a world of conflict and violence,
is the need for a deep understanding that peace
can come from all of us. After the opening phrase,
"Look in the eyes of the children, feel the touch
of their hands, there is peace," the verse enters,
with a full, yet still gentle sound. The refrain is
more celebratory, followed by a quiet bridge and an
ending which is calm and introspective, much like
the opening.
