Salem and Shalom

I heard some voices chant salem and shalom
and I can tell you their sound was beautiful
I don't where those peaceful voices came from
but singing together they all made a beautiful sound

and every vocal cord gave forth a trill
and every tonsil warbled loud and shrill
nothing to frighten, nothing to fear
and in the singing all the harmonies rang clear

I heard some voices chant salem and shalom
and I can tell you, their sound was beautiful
I don't where those peaceful voices came from
but singing together they all made a beautiful sound

I sensed my spirits lifted higher and higher
by peaceful voices blended in a choir
hope sprang eternal, fear there was none
as the voices joined and sang in unison

and in a bonded human serenade
the most attractive music ever made
poured from the heavens and all around
was the sweetest purest synthesis of sound

I heard some voices chant salem and shalom
and I can tell you, their sound was beautiful
I don't know where those peaceful voices came from
but singing together they all made a beautiful sound

keep the voices ringing, keep the voices singing such peaceful sound
