I say a little prayer
Hoping I'll be heard
Lord help the children to find peace in their time
I look around me, it all seems so wrong
Got to find a way to make it all right

[Chorus]
Oh oh peace peace throughout the world
Just a little peace just a little peace
Peace throughout the world

War for money war for land
Tell me how long it's going to be before we understand
People of the world
It's time we get things straight
'Cause if we don't get it together
It's gonna be too late

[Chorus]

In a world where peoples' feelings don't matter
In a world where people just don't care
I search the high and low to find myself an answer
Nothing seems to matter, no one seems to care
Take a look to the future
What do you see
Twentieth century going down on it's knees
If we ever get there what would we do
'Cause there won't be nothing there for me and you

Let now be the time
Let peace be the vibe
Let's join together
And we'll strive to find a new way
To see it clear where you new existence
In which we can expect
Individually achievements peace of mind
Poverty ? all men kind
Make this world a better place
To be sure ??? the human race

Peace throughout the world ooh
Oh peace mmm

In a world where peoples' feelings don't matter
In a world where people just don't care
I search the high and low to find myself an answer
Nothing seems to matter, no one seems to care
Take a look to the future
What do you see
Twentieth century going down on it's knees
If we ever get there what would we do
'Cause there won't be nothing there for me and you

[Chorus]
