If We Ever Needed PeaceThe world as we know it todayIs in a pretty terrible fix And we're responsible It's up to us to try and start making changes for the better For the future, for the children If we ever needed peace, brotherhood and love God knows we need it now, right now The future of the world is clouded From raging storms of war It's headed for the total destruction of you and me But it's not too late to save us There's still time for us all The sunlight of peace has got to shine through Peace is essential Together we can work it out If we ever needed peace, we need it now We are god's creation, and he loves us all He put us on earth together to get along Heaven is disappointing at the trouble we've caused If we don't change our actions, then all is lost Innocent people dying because men can't agree The children suffer more than anyone All the nations ought to practice A lot more brotherhood It would be a better world, when tomorrow comes Brotherhood is essential Together we can work it out If we ever needed brotherhood, we need it now, now (We need it now, right now) We are god's creation, I know that he loves us all He put us on earth together to get along Heaven is disappointed at the trouble that men has caused And if we don't change our actions, everything is lost Sons disrespecting fathers, and fathers deserting sons There's no more harmony in the home, lord have mercy Mothers denying daughters kind words of advice Then one day you discover, that love is gone, all gone Love is essential, together we can work it out If we ever needed love, we need it now, now Peace is essential, together we can work it out If we needed peace, we need it right now, now Brotherhood is essential, together we can work it out If we ever needed brotherhood, right now, right now Love of love, together we can work it out If we ever needed love, right now, right now, now Peace is essential, yes we can work it out |
