One Word (Peace) - Joe Cocker

A man stands on the corner holding a sign

People yell at him as they drive by

I wonder what they read, made them so upset

I looked at the sign and all it said:

One word: Peace

In the Neighborhood, Peace

One Word: Peace

In my own backyard, Peace

A man in a foreign land kneels to pray

And wonders where the bombs will fall today

Our leaders tell me to fear him you see

Love conquers all is what I believe

One word: Peace

In the neighborhood, Peace

One word: Peace

In My Own backyard, Peace

Everybody’s talking about it

Everybody’s got to have their say

But to achieve it, there is only one way

And it starts with me and the word and the word is:

Peace

In the neighborhood

One word: Peace

In My Own backyard

Peace

One Word

One word: Peace

In the neighborhood, Peace

One word: Peace

In My Own backyard, Peace
