♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal). Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!

Lyrics:

Peace is not what I looked for
Peace is not what I got
Looked to give someone troubles
Troubles now I've a lot

If a flower isn't care for
It will die in its pot
Peace is not what I looked for
Peace is not what I got
