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



'Cause 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

'Cause 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?



'Cause 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
