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 |
