Peace is gone away

Where are the children of today?

Is love and understanding far off in a dream

Or will it fall from the sky?

Peace is gone away

I pray to God night and day

And I ask him what this world is coming to

And he looks at me and would not say

Is love and understanding far off in a dream

Or will it fall from the sky?

Peace is gone away

I pray to God night and day

And I ask him what this world is coming to

And he looks at me and would not say

Tell me why

Are we so confused?

For most of us it seems a lie

We don't know what to do

Why, God?

Because peace

I said peace

Oh, it's gone away

Is love and understanding far off in a dream

Or will it fall from the sky?

Peace is gone away
