Peace

We got a problem, can't we see the light
We haven't learned a thing
Don't treat each other right
Even the strangers see we've drifted so far
From our beliefs and now
We don't deserve who we are
"Peace" is the word

They kill our friends and leave us all in pain
But we don't take a stand
It's just a crying shame
So many lying now to you and me
We hope they'll stop it now
Because we think they agree
"Peace" is the word

"Peace" is the word
It's the word, but we heard
It can lose all the meaning
Peace in our time, in our place, in our nation
Can help bring the day of redeeming

Take all the hatred, throw it all away
'Cause it's the reason why we have no temple today
The lesson we have yet to learn so far
Just start believing now, we still can be who we are
"Peace" is the word

"Peace" is the word
But we heard, it's absurd
It can lose all the meaning
Peace in our time, in this place, in our nation
Can help bring the day of redeeming

No, peace is not an illusion
We're just in trouble, full of delusion
From what we're doing here

Take all the hatred, throw it all away
Our nationality depends on yesterday
2000 years and yet we made it so far
Why stop believing now, since we can prove who we are
"Peace" is the word

"Peace" is the word, it's the word
And you heard that "shalom" is the meaning
Peace in our time, in this place, in our nation
Peace is the way to our healing

"Peace" is the word, it's the word, but we heard
It needs you to give meaning
Peace in our time, in this place, in our nation
Peace is the way we are feeling
"Peace" is the word
