People Want Peace - Paul McCartney

Ladies and gentlemen

I’m standing before you with something important to say

With some trepidation I crave your attention but

I’m not gonna let anything get in my way

The message is simple, it’s straight from my heart

And I know that you’ve heard it before

But what does it matter, we’re in it together

And I’m not quitting while people are crying for more

People want peace

People want peace

A simple release from their suffering

People want peace

People want peace

Nothing in life is as sad as the lonely soul

Searching for peace

Only to find disappointment is waiting

Behind every door that we open

Every catch, we release

A-brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen

I know that it isn’t too late

For we as the people, the voices of freedom

And we’re all perfectly clear that we don’t wanna wait

People want peace

People want peace

A simple release from their suffering

People want peace

People want peace

People want peace

People want peace

Yes, we want peace!

People want peace (Yeah, yeah!)

People want peace
