We gotta have peace
To keep the world alive, and war to cease
We gotta have joy
True in our hearts with strength, we can't destroy
People, 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, hear us (people, 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 gotta have peace"
To keep the world alive, and war to cease
We gotta have joy
True in our hearts with strength, we can't destroy
People, hear us (people, 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 gotta have peace"
Aah - hah, we gotta have peace
:
Let the world know it: Peace, peace, peace
Aah - hah, we gotta have peace
People, hear us (people, 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 gotta have peace"
Lord, we gotta have peace
Let the people say it: Peace, peace, peace
Aah - hah, we got to have peace
I said: Peace, peace, peace
Aah - hah, we gotta have peace
Peace, peace, peace
Aah - hah, we gotta have peace
