|
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 |
|
Chorus: |
|
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 |
|
Chorus |
|
Now I ain't here to be no politician |
|
Open up your mind |
|
You better open up your eyes |
|
Chorus |
