Go Now in Peace, My Friends was written as a celebration of friendship and joy. The lyrics remind us of the gift of shared experiences, like singing in a choir. When we part from these gathered experiences, we are fuller of the good than we came; we learn from each other and are forever blessed by it.I wanted this song to feel like home to several traditions. Therefore, I used English, Latin, and Hebrew. The latter are two ancient languages that have endured millennia.Ite nunc in pace is Latin for go now in peace.Shalom chaverim is Hebrew for peace friends.It is my great hope that this song inspires you to appreciate the friends you have and the ones you will meet in the future.James Kevin Gray.
