Lyrics
Who holds the money, who holds the need
Who holds the strings of misery
Or the purse of greed, and the gunmen weep
Or the gangster sews and the law is chief
When the smugglers go
Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
Give us peace in our time
In sun-kissed wombs, in city slums
Minds are restless till the airmail comes
From the forest floor to the western mine
Or chat show topic or a party line
And the hardest love of all is to forgive
As the world comes tumbling down
Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
Give us peace in our time
Let all the rain come down on blind desire
And like a thundercloud that holds a weary fire
I hear the blame, I see the cause
A stronger voice and a stronger laws
But buyers buy and sellers sell
Public consumption of a private hell
Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
Give us peace in our time
