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, mm
We're begging to save the children
The little ones who just don't understand
Give them a chance
To live their lives and purify the land
People hear us
Through our voice, the world had known there's no choice, no
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"
We got to have peace
To keep the world alive and the war to cease, mm
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
He'd say, "We got to have peace"
We've got to have peace, mm
Got to have peace, oh
We got to have peace (peace, yeah)
(Peace, yeah)
We got to have peace
Peace (peace), peace (peace), peace (peace)
Oh, peace
We got to have peace (yeah, have peace)
