Curtis Mayfield - We Got to Have Peace (Eddie Baez Laid Back Mix) lyrics

We got to 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 hear us Through our voice the world knows There's no choice We're begging to 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 Through our voice the world knows There's no choice And the people in our neighborhood They 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 got to 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 hear us Through our voice the world knows There's no choice And the people in our neighborhood They 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 We got to have peace We got to have peace Let the world know Peace, peace, peace We got to have peace 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 our neighborhood 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 We got to have peace We got to have peace Let the people singin' Peace, peace, peace We got to have peace I sing peace, peace, peace We got to have peace Peace, peace, peace We got to have peace
