We got have peace
To keep the world alive
And war to cease.
We got to have joy,
True in our hearts
With strength we can't destroy.
People please hear us (people please 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 please hear us (people please 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 got to have peace"
To keep the world alive
And war to cease
We got to have joy
Ture in our hearts
With strength we can't destroy
People please hear us (people please 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 got to have peace"
Aah - hah, we got to have peace. Let Let the world know it
Peace, peace, peace
Aah - hah, we got to have peace
People please hear us (people please 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 got to have peace"
Lo - rd, we got to have peace
Let the people say it
Peace peace peace
Aah - hah, we got to have peace
