[ cat stevens ]





[ banned from later u.s. copies of in my tribe due to cat stevens' agreement to the fatwah issued against salman rushdie ]



Now i've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come

And i believe it could be, something good has begun



Oh i've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one

And i believe it could be, some day it's going to come



Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train

Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again



Now i've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come

And i believe it could be, something good has begun



Oh peace train sounding louder

Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah

Come on now peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah

Come on now peace train



Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too

Cos it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you



Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you

And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true



Oh peace train sounding louder

Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah

Come on now peace train, peace train



Now i've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is

Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss



Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train

Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again



Oh peace train sounding louder

Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah

Come on now the peace train

Yes peace train holy roller

Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah

Come on, come on, come on

Yes come on peace train

Yes it's the peace train

Oh ah ee ah oh ah

Come on now peace train

Oh peace train
