lyrics

Well the war won’t stop til a brother puts down his gun
And a mother teaches justice to her son
And tell me how, how can we make war of nations end
If I still say hurtful things about my friends?

And oh my brother, do you have the time?
Sing out my sister, if you can answer this question of mine:

Said isn’t it time, isn’t it time for peace to come?
When most of mankind will say they’re still waiting for someone
It’s been two thousand years since a poor Shepherd showed us how
But all that I know is that we cannot give up now
Cos we gotta try harder, and we gotta be stronger
And we gotta love deeper, and we gotta sing louder
Louder until peace comes

Tell me why was I born in a clean hospital bed?
When there’s babies got no rooves over their heads
And tell me why, why was I given freedom for no fee?
When there’s people lying in jail cells for their right to believe

And isn’t it time, isn’t it time for peace to come?
When all the world’s children sing along to the words of the same hit songs
It’s been six thousand years since a man named Krishna, He did come
And what have we learned? How to shoot automatic guns
So we gotta try harder and we gotta be stronger
And we gotta love deeper and we gotta sing louder
I said I’m gonna try harder and I’m gonna be stronger
And I’m gonna love deeper and I’m gonna sing louder
Louder until peace comes

And I know peace don’t come from presidents
You gotta build it in your heart
They call peace a cause but it’s an effect
And it takes love to make it start
So isn’t it time, isn’t it time for peace to come?

So try harder, try harder, try harder
And be stronger, be stronger, be stronger
And love deeper, love deeper, deeper, people love deeper
And sing louder, sing louder, sing louder,
Louder until peace comes
Until we don’t need no more peace songs
I’m gonna sing my heart out, you can sing along
Gonna sing louder until peace comes
Louder until peace comes
