The Peace Poem Lyrics - Denver John

There's a name for war and killing 

there's a name for giving in 

when you know another answer 

for me the name is sin 

but there's still time to turn around 

and make all hatred cease 

and give another name to living 

and we could call it peace 

And peace would be the road we walk 

each step along the way 

and peace would be the way we work 

and peace the way we play 

And in all we see that's different 

and in all the things we know 

peace would be the way we look 

and peace the way we grow 

There's a name for separation 

there's a name for first and last 

when it's all for us or nothing 

for me the name is past 

but there's still time to turn around 

and make all hatred cease 

and give a name to all the future 

and we could call it peace 

And if peace is what we pray for 

and peace is what we give 

then peace will be the way we are 

and peace the way we live 

Yes there still is the time to turn around 

and make all hatred cease 

and give another name to living 

and we can call it peace
