People Want Peace lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen

I’m standing before you

With something important to say

With some trepidation, I crave your attention

But I’m not going to let anything get in my way

The message is simple, it’s straight from my heart

And I know that you’ve heard before

But what does it matter

We’re in it together

And I’m not quitting while people are crying for more

People want peace

People want peace

A simple release from their suffering

People want peace

People want peace

Nothing in life is as sad

As a lonely soul searching for peace

Only to find disappointment is waiting

Behind every door that we open

Every catch we release

Brothers and sisters

I beg you to listen

I know that it isn’t too late

For we are the people

The voices of freedom

And we’re all perfectly clear that we don’t want to wait

People want peace

People want peace

A simple release from their suffering

People want peace
