Lyrics

[Intro] (When the world is at peace) (Yeah, yeah) (When the world is at peace) [Verse 1] I can see the day when its safe to walk the streets When we learn to care for those lost in poverty There would be no need for our daughters and our sons To march up and down the streets singing "we shall overcome" (Do it to me now) [Chorus] When the world's at peace, will it still be in one piece? (When the world is at peace) I pray for the day when the bombs and the bullets cease (Yeah, yeah) Come let's make a change, or leave the world in dust (When the world is at peace) Let's be the world of love for the ones that follow us (Do it to me now) [Verse 2] If we learn to love the way we learn to kill Then love will rule the world and hate would soon be still Some may say they love, but loves a sacrifice Love is not a state of mind, love's a fact of life (Do it to me now) [Chorus] (When the world is at peace) Hate, be still Love, (Yeah, yeah) get behind me (When the world is at peace) Peace, what we need Ha, ha, peace is what we need now [Bridge] Da, da, who's got me? Who's got me? ha Da, da, da, da-da, da, da-da, da Da, da, dai-yah, da, da, da-da, da, da Da, da, dai-yah, da, da, da, da-da, da Da, da, dai, da, da, da, da-da, da Who's got me? who's got me?
