As long as I live This message I give To the people from birth On this war-stricken Earth Someday it will all cease When finally there is peace.
It isn’t much to ask Drink it deeply from a flask Let it be all that you know Keep it with you when you grow It’ll come as a surprising caprice That golden blooming era of peace.
You won’t get it from the boss War; what a tragic loss In the hearts that hate, but it is never too late. To those that are willing to change This world of which we’ll be sure to rearrange You won’t get it from the coppers and brutal police I speak of nothing else but that golden word, “peace”.
