People around the world need to "surrender to peace, think peace, act peace and spread peace."
That's the message from Yoko Ono, an internationally known artist and widow of John Lennon, the late legendary member of The Beatles on the occasion of the International Day of Peace.
This year's UNITED NATIONS theme for the day, which is observed on 21 September, is "The Right of Peoples to Peace"
Maher Nasser sat down with Yoko Ono, who is also a well known peace activist, and first asked her how she got involved with peace activism.

A song celebrating love and the holiday season. 

A THOUSAND YEARS
There is silence on the street tonight
and the cars have all gone home
Every shop has locked its doors up tight
getting ready for the show
And it’s time for me to go

There’s a roaring fire and a rocking chair
and a stocking full of dreams
Every corner’s filled with a joyful air
and the scent of evergreen
We will toast peace on earth
Raise a glass of Christmas cheer
And ask this night to last a thousand years 

A thousand years
A thousand years
We will ask this night to last a thousand years

If the sky belonged to me alone
and my dreams could all come true
I would give to every child a home
like the one I share with you
So let us toast peace on earth
and good fortune everywhere
And ask this night to last a thousand years 

I will wrap my heart in a silver bow
And place it in your hands
For your love’s the gift I cherish most
Out of all the gifts I’ve had

A thousand years
A thousand years
We will ask this night to last
a thousand years

A Thousand Years (2011)

ONE SMALL VOICE
Words & Music by Carole King

The Emperor's got no clothes on
No clothes? That can't be; he's the Emperor
Take that child away
Don't let the people hear the words he has to say

One small voice
Speaking out in honesty
Silenced, but not for long
One small voice speaking with the values
   we were taught as children

So you walk away and say, Isn't he divine?
Don't those clothes look fine on the Emperor?
And as you take your leave
You wonder why you're feeling so ill-at-ease
Don't you know?

Lies take your soul
You can't hide from yourself
Lies take their toll on you
And everyone else

One small voice speaking out in honesty
Silenced, but not for long
One small voice speaking with the values
   we were taught as children
Tell the truth
You can change the world
But you'd better be strong

The Emperor's got no clothes on, no clothes
He doesn't want to know what goes on,
   though everyone knows
One small voice: The Emperor's got no clothes on
One small voice: The Emperor's got no clothes on

One small voice can change the world
But you'd better be strong
