Peace in Our Time

Everybody’s got their cross to bear
You got yours and I got mine
Our hearts are beating to a different drum
The time has come to get in line
I say KNOCK KNOCK,
is there anybody out there
Anybody who knows it all
Or are you just another pessimistic hero
Waiting for the sky to fall
I ain’t here to draw no pretty little picture
Open up your eyes
I need some peace, a little peace
We got to get out alive
Peace in our time, peace in our mind
Everybody’s got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind
We need some peace in our time
Wake up, take a look around
Tell me what you think you see
There’s a whole lot of people in the lost and found
Looking for their liberty
There’s a prime time war on my TV screen
There’s a dope deal down on my city streets
And the only one who’s losing out
Is you and me I ain’t here to paint no pretty little picture
We’re running out of time
I need some peace
A little peace
If we’re gonna survive
Peace in our time, peace in our mind
Everybody’s got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind
We need some peace in our time
Now I ain’t here to be no politician
Open up your mind
You better open up your eyes
Peace in our time, peace in our mind
Everybody’s got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind
We need some peace in our time
