Peace In Our Time Songtext / Lyric

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
