Curtis Mayfield - We Got to Have Peace lyrics

We got have peace To keep the world alive And war to cease. We got to have joy, True in our hearts With strength we can't destroy. People please hear us (people please hear us) Through our voice the world knows There's no choice. We're begging save the children The little ones Who just don't understand Give them a chance To breed their young And help purify the land People please hear us (people please hear us) Through our voice the world knows There's no choice. And the people in the neighbourhood, Who would if they only could, Meet and shake the other's hand, Work together for the good of the land. Give us all an equal chance, It could be such a sweet romance. And the soldiers who are dead and gone, If only we could bring back one, He'd say "We've got to have peace" To keep the world alive And war to cease We got to have joy Ture in our hearts With strength we can't destroy People please hear us (people please hear us) Through our voice the world knows There's no choice And the people in the neighbourhood Who would if they only could Meet and shake the other's hand Work together for the good of the land Give us all an equal chance It could be such a sweet romance And the soldiers who are dead and gone If only we could bring back one He'd say "We've got to have peace" Aah - hah, we got to have peace. Let Let the world know it Peace, peace, peace Aah - hah, we got to have peace People please hear us (people please hear us) Through our voice the world knows There's no choice Save the children Save the children Save the children And the people in the neighbourhood Who would if they only could Meet and shake the other's hand Work together for the good of the land Give us all an equal chance It could be such a sweet romance And the soldiers who are dead and gone If only we could bring back one He'd say "We've got to have peace" Lo - rd, we got to have peace Let the people say it Peace peace peace Aah - hah, we got to have peace
