For peace in our time |
Pictures of hurt, words of hate and despair |
Dreams that are gone with the wind |
People who leave all the good times behind |
With us that don't know where we've been |
|
Sometimes at night, there's a song in my mind |
Tellin' of freedom and love |
Though you might say it won't change anything |
I think it has power enough |
|
It's for peace in our time, givin' hope to mankind |
It's for you that I'm singin' this song |
It's for children who cry with their hearts askin' why |
Why do people treat people so wrong? |
|
It's for peace in our time, givin' hope to mankind |
It's for you that I'm singin' this song |
It's for children who cry with their hearts askin' why |
Why do people treat people so wrong? |
Why do people treat people so wrong? |
|
Please wipe that shadow of fear from your face |
Open your soul to the light |
And someday soon we will live in a place |
Where people won't argue and fight |
|
It's for peace in our time, givin' hope to mankind |
It's for you that I'm singin' this song |
It's for children who cry with their hearts askin' why |
Why do people treat people so wrong? |
|
'Cause it can't be the truth that our world has to die |
I believe in the power of people |
|
It's for children who cry with their hearts askin' why |
Why do people treat people so wrong? |
It's for peace in our time, givin' hope to mankind |
It's for you that I'm singin' this song |
Oh... sing along |
