Lyrics

Now I've been happy lately

Thinkin' about the good things to come

And I believe it could be

Something good has begun

Oh, I've been smilin' lately

Dreamin' 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

Thinkin' about the good things to come

And I believe it could be

Something good has begun

Oh, peace train soundin' louder

Glide on the peace train

Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah

Come on, now peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train

Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah

Come on, now peace train

Get your bags together

Go bring your good friends, too

Because it's gettin' nearer

It soon will be with you

Now, come and join the livin'

It's not so far from you

And it's gettin' nearer

Soon it will all be true

Oh, peace train soundin' louder

Glide on the peace train

Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah

Come on, now peace train

Peace train

Now, I've been cryin' lately

Thinkin' 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 soundin' louder

Glide on the peace train

Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah

Come on, now peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train

Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah

Come on, come on, come on

Yes, come on, peace train

Yes, it's the peace train

Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah

Come on, now peace train

Peace train

Ooh, ah, ee, ah, ooh, ah
