[MANNAM: Heal the world] Give peace a chance!

 

 

'To give a chance to peace', is a title of a song. John Lennon, before The Beatles broke up, released this song to the public in July 1969. This song proves John Lennon’s real worth as a pacifist. The album was collaborated with his wife who was one of the member of a band named ‘Plastic Ono Band’, and this song was also John’s first single album that was recorded. Doesn’t matter which or what ‘-ism’ people say, in the song it spreads a message to seek peace though out the world. So in that time, the youth of America called John as a representative anti-war campaigner.

 Still, peace is needed in this world. Even though this song has came up on the surface for a half century, the problem still remains. From this song, we can feel and sense that we need peace. Knowing its importance, is the answer to unify the world into one.

 Helping the world, MANNAM Volunteer association is doing their best to take act for peace. We can join the wave of peace in MANNAM. Give peace a chance in MANNAM. The people from the song came up, didn’t give the chance to peace. Now we can. Let’s join the peace movement together!

 This is the lyrics for the song.
