The Peace Song

[A.H.]

To All,

This song by Jesse Colin Young has touched me so deeply. I have
searched the web for the lyrics but haven't found any of his music
with the lyrics written down. He has some wonderful music. I took the
time tonight to listen to the song and write the lyrics down the best
I could get them. I think I pretty well got the words but one which I
have marked in ( ) but the word does seem to fit. If anyone knows
of any corrections please let me know.

Love,
Bre

The Peace Song ~ Jesse Colin Young

sometimes I can't help crying
people when i hear about the dying
young men women and children
by the violence that's been chosen

we've gotta stop
yes people we've
we gotta stop
my God yes
sisters and brothers
do you hear me
we've gotta stop killing one another

sometimes i can't help thinking
when i've been sitting and drinking
while the powers of the world are struggling
the children of the world are starving
while the (presencies) are rising
the sons of war are dying

we've gotta stop
yes people we've
we gotta stop
my God yes
sisters and brothers
do you hear me
we've gotta stop killing one another

sometimes i can't help wondering
what in the world is happening
while the white mans power is ruling
black mans power is threatning
while the red mans power is sleeping
yellow mans power is growing and growing

people we've gotta stop
yes people we've
we gotta stop
my God yes
sisters and brothers
do you hear me
we've gotta stop killing one another

learn to take care of each other
Lord and try to love one another
people don't you think it's time
