Pledge of Peace
We, the Youth, know that we live in one world
We breathe the same air,
Tread the same earth.
We see by the light of the same bright sun,
And dream beneath the same moon.
From this day forward we will breathe the air
of a world in which Youth stand united,
rather than divided over the disagreements of our forefathers.
Together we will tread the same earth, walking along a path of peace and
understanding, towards a future of hope.
Together we will see the day dawn on which there will be an end to the wars waged by
nations but paid for in the blood of young people like ourselves.
Together we will work to make our dream - the dream of a world at peace - a reality.
We, the Youth, pledge to lay aside our differences;
to recognize and respect our common humanity, the rights that each of us share
irrespective of our nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender, or other apparent differences.
We pledge to stop fighting the wars of our past
and to build new relationships, repaying all those young people who fought for our
freedom and right to stand here today.
We will redeem the value of their lives by working together to end all wars,
and to create a new world of unity, peace and freedom for all people.
