If We Ever Needed Peace

The world as we know it today

Is in a pretty terrible fix

And we're responsible

It's up to us to try and start making changes for the better

For the future, for the children

If we ever needed peace, brotherhood and love

God knows we need it now, right now

The future of the world is clouded

From raging storms of war

It's headed for the total destruction of you and me

But it's not too late to save us

There's still time for us all

The sunlight of peace has got to shine through

Peace is essential

Together we can work it out

If we ever needed peace, we need it now

We are god's creation, and he loves us all

He put us on earth together to get along

Heaven is disappointing at the trouble we've caused

If we don't change our actions, then all is lost

Innocent people dying because men can't agree

The children suffer more than anyone

All the nations ought to practice

A lot more brotherhood

It would be a better world, when tomorrow comes

Brotherhood is essential

Together we can work it out

If we ever needed brotherhood, we need it now, now

(We need it now, right now)

We are god's creation, I know that he loves us all

He put us on earth together to get along

Heaven is disappointed at the trouble that men has caused

And if we don't change our actions, everything is lost

Sons disrespecting fathers, and fathers deserting sons

There's no more harmony in the home, lord have mercy

Mothers denying daughters kind words of advice

Then one day you discover, that love is gone, all gone

Love is essential, together we can work it out

If we ever needed love, we need it now, now

Peace is essential, together we can work it out

If we needed peace, we need it right now, now

Brotherhood is essential, together we can work it out

If we ever needed brotherhood, right now, right now

Love of love, together we can work it out

If we ever needed love, right now, right now, now

Peace is essential, yes we can work it out
