A time for peace


When is enough enough
When does the violence stop
When do people start trusting one another
When do smiles and handshakes replace scowls and brush off's

When are we going to stand strong together
against the forces that make shady decisions on our behalf
When are we going to step up and say
enough is enough and we've had it up to here
When are we going to feel like we can stand
on our own feet and own where we are standing

Now.
Enough of the violence, the meaness, the hatred and the buring of heads
Now.
It's time to say enough is enough and start making this Country something to be proud of again.
Now.
Now is as good a time as any to make changes.

Do I know how, no.
Can I do it alone, no.
Am I willing to do what it takes, yes
Are you willing to do what it takes, sure hope so.






Peace Train

[ Cat Stevens ]

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cos it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train, peace train

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now the peace train
Yes peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on, come on, come on
Yes come on peace train
Yes it's the peace train
Oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train
Oh peace train
