Fred Small has a song by the title "peace is"

However, this is the only song of "Peace" that I show for Bill Staines.

Bill Staines on the One More River Album

SONG OF PEACE (FINLANDIA)
(Jean Sibelius, music - Lloyd Stone, words)
© 1934, Lorenz Publishing Co.

This is my song, oh people of all nations,
A song of peace for lands afar and mine.
This is my home, my country where my heart is,
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my truest shrine,
But other hearts in other lands are beating,
With hopes and dreams as high and true as mine

My country's skies are bluer than the ocean,
And sunlight falls on clover leaf and pine.
But the other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.
So Hear this song you people of all nations,
This song of peace for other lands and mine.
This song of peace for other lands and mine.
