[Verse 1]
When rich men act like poor men and poor men eat like rich
When all men take the high road, no black men in a ditch
When mother's down in Kenya can rear their children strong
And people on Algeria's coast can sing a freedom song

[Chorus]
Then we'll have peace
Then we'll have peace

[Verse 2]
When people think of Jesus as he said, "Good will toward men"
And drove the money changers from the tеmples they werе in
When people turn the other cheek and give a helping hand
To poor folk off in Martinique or deep in Togoland

[Chorus]
Then we'll have peace
Then we'll have peace

[Verse 3]
When nations build a Aswan Dam so deserts turn to green
And atom power builds a world like we've never seen
When all our granaries are full and soup lines don't appear
When stores are filled with clothes and shoes that to none are prices too dear
[Chorus]
Then we'll have peace
Then we'll have peace

[Verse 4]
For peace is based on love and trust, when no man lives on man
When each alone his native soil it is Egyptian sand
For peace is based on tolerance, 'cause all men must be heard
"Good will toward men and peace on earth" if there be God, then that's His word

[Outro]
There shall be peace
