Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
I cannot understand how the sisters, wives, and mothers
Cannot stop the slaughter of the husbands, sons, and brothers
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
There never will be peace 'til men abandon fighting
As the way to deal with problems that prevent us from uniting
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
The profits made from war, there's few that can resist them
Hypocrisy and greed control the lifeblood of our system
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
The earth can wait no longer for political permission
Sit down, disrupt, do anything to make the whole world listen
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
