Peace…
Peace…
Everybody's got their cross to bear
You got yours and I got mine
Our hearts are beating to a different drum
The time has come to get in line
I say KNOCK KNOCK, is there anybody out there
Anyone who knows it all
Or are you just another pessimistic hero
Waiting for the sky to fall
I ain't here to draw a pretty little picture
Open up your eyes
I need some peace, a little peace
We got to get out alive
Peace in our time, peace in our mind
Everybody's got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind
We need some peace in our time
Peace…
Wake up, take a look around
Tell me what do you think you see
There's a whole lot of people in the lost and found
Looking for their liberty
There's a prime time war on my TV screen
There's a dope deal down on my city streets
And the only one who's losing out
Is you and me
I ain't here to paint a pretty little picture
We're running out of time
We need some peace
A little peace
If we're gonna survive
Peace in our time, peace in our mind
Everybody's got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind
We need some peace in our time
I ain't here to be no politician
Open up your mind
Hey, people, open up your eyes
Peace in our time, peace in our mind
Everybody's got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind
We need some peace in our time
Peace in our time, (We need some) peace in our mind (Believe me)
Everybody's got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind (Oh yeah!)
We need some peace in our time
