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 live their lives
And purify the land
People hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choice
And the people in the 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 we could only bring back one
He'd say, "We got to have peace"
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 the 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 we could only bring back one
He'd say, "We got to have peace"
We got to have peace
We got to have peace
We got to have peace
Peace
We got to have peace
Peace peace peace peace peace
Oh peace
We got to have peace
Have peace
