We got have peace
|
To keep the world alive
|
And war to cease.
|
|
We got to have joy,
|
True in our hearts
|
With strength we can't destroy.
|
|
People please hear us (people please hear us)
|
Through our voice the world knows
|
There's no choice.
|
|
We're begging save the children
|
The little ones
|
Who just don't understand
|
|
Give them a chance
|
To breed their young
|
And help purify the land
|
|
People please hear us (people please hear us)
|
Through our voice the world knows
|
There's no choice.
|
|
And the people in the neighbourhood,
|
Who would if they only could,
|
Meet and shake the other's hand,
|
Work together for the good of the land.
|
|
Give us all an equal chance,
|
It could be such a sweet romance.
|
And the soldiers who are dead and gone,
|
If only we could bring back one,
|
|
He'd say "We've got to have peace"
|
To keep the world alive
|
And war to cease
|
|
We got to have joy
|
Ture in our hearts
|
With strength we can't destroy
|
|
People please hear us (people please hear us)
|
Through our voice the world knows
|
There's no choice
|
|
And the people in the neighbourhood
|
Who would if they only could
|
Meet and shake the other's hand
|
Work together for the good of the land
|
|
Give us all an equal chance
|
It could be such a sweet romance
|
And the soldiers who are dead and gone
|
If only we could bring back one
|
|
He'd say "We've got to have peace"
|
Aah - hah, we got to have peace
|
Let Let the world know it
|
|
Peace, peace, peace
|
Aah - hah, we got to have peace
|
|
People please hear us (people please hear us)
|
Through our voice the world knows
|
There's no choice
|
|
Save the children
|
|
Save the children
|
|
Save the children
|
|
And the people in the neighbourhood
|
Who would if they only could
|
Meet and shake the other's hand
|
Work together for the good of the land
|
|
Give us all an equal chance
|
It could be such a sweet romance
|
And the soldiers who are dead and gone
|
If only we could bring back one
|
|
He'd say "We've got to have peace"
|
Lo - rd, we got to have peace
|
|
Let the people say it
|
|
Peace peace peace
|
Aah - hah, we got to have peace
