people want peace
mccartney, paul
with something important to say
with some trepidation i crave your attention
but i'm not gonna let anything get my way
it's straight from my heart
and i know that you've heard it before
and i'm not quitting while people are crying for more
a simple release from their suffering
nothing in life is as sad as a lonely soul
only to find disappointment is waiting
behind every door that we open
i know that it isn't too late
and we're all perfectly clear
that we don't want to wait
a simple release from their suffering
