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 'ROUND 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.
OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH,
OOH-OOH-OOH.
HELP ME TO LEARN
SONGS OF JOY INSTEAD OF BURN, BABY, BURN,
WON'T YOU SHOW ME TO PLAY (how to play)
THE PIPES OF PEACE, (pipes of peace)
PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE
OOH-OOH-OOH-OOH.
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 GONNA DO?
HELP THEM TO SEE (help them to see)
THAT THE PEOPLE HERE ARE LIKE YOU AND ME. (like you and me)
LET US SHOW THEM HOW TO PLAY (how to play)
THE PIPES OF PEACE, (pipes of peace)
