Peace in Our Time

Go swiftly The flags and drums can hypnotise When glory has faded the dream Is worth more than the prize A twisting turning flame And a freedom burning bright Knows all of the names And all of the games Of the yellow, black and white We've gotta have faith To work it out Faith and hope Without any doubt Give us strength to make a start Put a song in our hearts ... We're never gonna break down these walls And build a prison with a stone 'Cos you know what love is worth We're gonna build a heaven on earth We're running in the wheels of fortune Turning water into wine We're gonna take love and make it shine We're gonna find peace in our time Softly, softly When there is lightning in the sky When the rivers are rising and Trouble rolls in on the tide We'll keep on keeping on 'Til all the tears are dry We'll weather the storm Welcome the dawn Of tomorrow you and I We've gotta have faith And get it fast Faith and hope And make it last Give us strength To reach the stars Put a song in our hearts We're never gonna break down these walls And build a prison with a stone 'Cos you know what love is worth We're gonna build a heaven on earth We're running in the wheels of fortune Turning water into wine We're gonna take love and make it shine We're gonna find peace in our time We're raisin' the dust It's heaven or bust And we'll see this dream come true We're gonna have faith (faith) The road will be long But there's hope (hope) To carry us on We'll have strength (strength) We'll never go wrong With this song in our hearts We're never gonna break down these walls And build a prison with a stone 'Cos you know what love is worth We're gonna build a heaven on earth We're running in the wheels of fortune Turning water into wine We're gonna take love and make it shine We're gonna find peace in our time At the sign (sign) Of the dove Is gonna shine (shine) On a wing And a prayer We'll be fine Fine Fine We're never gonna break down these walls And build a prison with a stone 'Cos you know what love is worth We're gonna build a heaven on earth We're running in the wheels of fortune Turning water into wine We're gonna take love and make it shine We're gonna find peace in our time
