Peace -

do you remember when you were young

you were taught the golden rule:

«do to everybody else the same

as you’d have done to you.»

well I guess the times have changed

they seem so different to me

everybody’s selfish now

oh, it’s such a tragedy

but I know what I must do:

try to turn this world around

so that every poor lost soul

will someday be found

I want to bring peace to this troubled land

if I can help somebody, let me lend a hand

peace to this troubled land

oh, won’t you help me do all I can

only light can drive out the dark

and only love can cure the hate

and God knows if we don’t learn this now

soon it will be much too late

don’t you know deep down inside

everyone is just the same

we’re all part of the family

we share the glory and shame

and you know what we must do:

try to change this sad, sad place

feed and clothe every hungry child

wipe the tears from every face

don’t you get tired of hating all the time,

enemies everywhere?

don’t you get tired of being afraid

of everybody else out there?
