PEACE TRAIN (Cat Stevens)



Now I've been happy lately

Thinking about the good things to come

And I believe it could be

Something good has begun

I've been smiling lately

Dreaming about the world as one

And I believe it could be

Something good's bound to come



For out on the edge of darkness

There runs the peace train

Peace train take this country

Come take me home again



Peace train sounding louder

Ride on the peace train

Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah

Come on the peace train

Peace train's a holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train

Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah

This is the peace train



Get your bags together

Come bring your good friends too

Because it's getting nearer

Soon it will be with you

Come and join the living

It's not so far from you

And it's getting nearer

Soon it will all be true



Peace train sounding louder

Ride on the peace train

Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah

Come on the peace train



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?



For out on the edge of darkness

There rides the peace train

Peace train take this country

Come take me home again



Peace train sounding louder

Ride on the peace train

Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah

Come on the peace train



Come on, come on, come on the peace train...
