"Peace Train" Lyrics

(Cat Stevens)

Now I've been happy lately thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be something good has begun
Oh, I've been smiling lately dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be someday it's going to come.

'Cause out on the edge of darkness there rides a peace train
Peace train take this country come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be something good has begun.

Chorus:
Peace train soundin' louder, ride on the peace train
Oh, oh, oh, come on peace train
Peace train holy roller everyone jump on the peace train
Oh, oh, oh, come on peace train.

Get your bags together, go bring all your good friends, too
'Cause it's getting nearer soon it will be with you
Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer soon it will all be true.

Chorus:
Peace train soundin' louder, ride on the peace train
Oh, oh, oh, come on peace train
Peace train holy roller everyone jump on the peace train
Oh, oh, oh, come on peace train.

Now I've been crying lately thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss
'Cause out on the edge of darkness there rides a peace train
Where peace train take this country, come take me home again.

Chorus:
Peace train soundin' louder, ride on the peace train
Oh, oh, oh, come on peace train
Peace train holy roller everyone jump on the peace train
Oh, oh, oh, come on peace train.

Oh, peace train is sounding louder, ride on the peace train
Oh, oh, oh, come on peace train
Peace train holy roller jump on the peace train
Oh, oh, oh, come on peace train...
