Now, I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday it's going to come
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides the peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again
Oh, peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train
Now get your bags together
Go bring your good friends too
Because it's getting nearer
It soon will be with you
Now come and join the living
Accept the point of view
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true
Now, I've been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating?
Why can't we love and live?
Oh, peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Ooo, come on, come on, come on
Yes, peace train
Yes, it's the peace train!
