Peace Song

[Rosmarie Heusser]

Lyrics of The Peace Song by Jesse Colin Young

Sometimes I can′t help cryin'

People when I hear about the dying

Young men, women, children

for the violence they′ve chosen

We got to stop, yes, people we,

We go to stop, my god yes

Sisters and brothers, do you hear me?

We got to stop killing one another

Sometimes I can't help thinking

When I've been sittin′ and drinkin′

While the powers of the world

are struggling

The children of the world are starving

Well, the prayers of peace are rising

The sons of war are dying

People, we got to stop

Yes we, we go to stop, my god yes

Sisters and brothers, do you gear me?

we got to stop killing one another

Sometimes I can't help wondering

What in the world is happening?

While the white man′s power is ruling

Black man's power is threatening

Well the great man′s power is sleeping

Yellow man's power is

growing and growing

People, we got to stop

Yes we, we go to stop, my god yes,

Sisters and brothers, do you hear me?

We got to stop killing one another

Learn to take care of each other

Learn to try to love one another

People, don′t you think it's time?
