Pipes of Peace lyrics:
I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear
All around the world
Little children being born to the world
Got to give them all we can ’til the war is won
Then will the work be done
Help them to learn (help them to learn)
Songs of joy instead of burn, baby burn (burn, baby burn)
Let us show them how to play the pipes of peace
Play the pipes of peace
Help me to learn
Songs of joy instead of burn, baby burn
Won’t you show me how to play (how to play)
The pipes of peace (pipes of peace)
Play the pipes of peace
What do you say? (What do you say?)
Will the human race be run in a day (in a day)
Or will someone save this planet we’re playing on?
(Is it the only one?) What are we going to do?
Help them to see (to see)
That the people here are like you and me (you and me)
Won’t you show them how to play (how to play)
The pipes of peace (pipes of peace)
Play the pipes of peace
I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
(We really want the pipes)
That one and one is all we long to hear
