People Want Peace

[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen
I'm standing before you with something important to say
With some trepidation I crave your attention but
I'm not gonna let anything get in my way

[Verse 2]
The message is simple, it's straight from my heart
And I know that you've heard it before
But what does it matter, we're in it together
And I'm not quitting while people are crying for more

[Chorus]
People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace
People want peace

[Bridge]
Nothing in life is as sad as the lonely soul
Searching for peace
Only to find disappointment is waiting
Behind every door that we open
Every catch, we release

[Verse 3]
A-brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen
I know that it isn't too late
For we as the people, the voices of freedom
And we're all perfectly clear that we don't wanna wait

[Chorus]
People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace
People want peace

[Outro]
People want peace
People want peace
Yes, we want peace!
People want peace (Yeah, yeah!)
People want peace
