if we ever needed peace
Singer: hayes, isaac
the world as we know it today
is in a pretty terrible fix
and we're responsible
it's up to us to try and start making changes for the better
for the future
for the children
if we ever needed peace
brotherhood and love
god knows we need it now
right now
the future of the world is clouded
from raging storms of war
it's headed for the total destruction of you and me
but it's not too late to save us
there's still time for us all
the sunlight of peace has got to shine through
peace is essential
together we can work it out
if we ever needed peace
we need it now
we are god's creation
and he loves us all
he put us on earth together to get along
heaven is disappointing at the trouble we've caused
if we don't change our actions
then all is lost
innocent people dying because men can't agree
the children suffer more than anyone
all the nations ought to practice
a lot more brotherhood
it would be a better world
when tomorrow comes
brotherhood is essential
together we can work it out
if we ever needed brotherhood
we need it now
now
we are god's creation
i know that he loves us all
he put us on earth together to get along
heaven is disappointed at the trouble that men has caused
and if we don't change our actions
everything is lost
sons disrespecting fathers
and fathers deserting sons
there's no more harmony in the home
lord have mercy
mothers denying daughters kind words of advice
then one day you discover
that love is gone
all gone
love is essential
together we can work it out
if we ever needed love
we need it now
now
peace is essential
together we can work it out
if we needed peace
we need it right now
now
brotherhood is essential
together we can work it out
if we ever needed brotherhood
right now
right now
love of love
together we can work it out
if we ever needed love
right now
right now
now
peace is essential
yes we can work it out
