People Want Peace

Ladies and gentlemen

Standing before you with something important to say

With some trepidation I crave your attention but

I'm not gonna let anything get my way

The message is simple

It's straight from my heart

And I know that you've heard it before

But what does it matter, we're in it together

And I'm not quitting while people are crying for more

People want peace

People want peace

A simple release from their suffering

People want peace

People want peace

Nothing in life is as sad as the lonely, so

Searching for peace

Only to find disappointment is waiting

Behind every door that we open

Every catch, we release

Brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen,

I know that it isn't too late,

For we as the people, the voice of freedom

And we're open and clear, we don't wanna wait

People want peace

People want peace

A simple release from their suffering

People want peace

People want peace

People want peace

People want peace

Yes, we want peace!

People want peace

People want peace
