How I Long for Peace

Oh, how I long for peace
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nation
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
I cannot understand
How the sisters, wives, and mothers
Cannot stop the slaughter
Of the husbands, sons, and brothers
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nation
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
There never will be pеace
Till men abandon fighting
As the way to solvе the problems
That prevent us from uniting
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nation
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
The profits made from war
There's few that can resist them
Hypocrisy and greed control
The lifeblood of the system
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nation
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
The world can wait no longer
For political permission
Show up, disrupt, do anything
To make the whole world listen
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nation
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nation
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
Oh, how I long for peace
Oh, how I long for peace (Oh, how I long for peace)
Oh, how I long for peace (Oh, how I long for peace)
Oh, how I long for peace (Oh, how I long for peace)
Oh, how I long for peace (Oh, how I long for peace)
Oh, how I long for peace (Oh, how I long for peace)
Oh, how I long for peace (Oh, how I long for peace)
Oh, how I long for peace (Oh, how I long for peace)
Oh, how I long for peace (Oh, how I long for peace)
