We Got To Have Peace (eddie Baez Laid Back Mix) Lyrics - Curtis Mayfield

We got to 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 hear us 

Through our voice the world knows 

There's no choice 

 

We're begging to 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 hear us 

Through our voice the world knows 

There's no choice 

 

And the people in our neighborhood 

They 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 got to 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 hear us 

Through our voice the world knows 

There's no choice 

 

And the people in our neighborhood 

They 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 

 

We got to have peace 

We got to have peace 

Let the world know 

 

Peace, peace, peace 

We got to have peace 

 

People 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 our neighborhood 

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 

 

We got to have peace 

We got to have peace 

 

Let the people singin' 

Peace, peace, peace 

We got to have peace 

 

I sing peace, peace, peace 

We got to have peace 

Peace, peace, peace 

We got to have peace
