mavis staples - we got to have peace lyrics

[verse 1]
we got to have peace
to keep the world alive and the war to cease
we got to have joy
true in our hearts with strength we can’t destroy
people hear us through our voice
the world knows there’s no choice
we’re begging to save the children
the little ones who just don’t understand
give them a chance to live their lives
and purify the land
people hear us through our voice
the world knows there’s no choice, no

[chorus]
and the people in the neighborhood
they would if they only could
meet and shake the other’s hand
work together for the good of the land
give us all an equal chance
it could be such a sweet romance
and the soldiers who are dead and gone
if we could only bring back one
he’d say “we’ve got to have peace”

[verse 2]
we’ve got to have peace
to keep the world alive and the war to cease
we got to have joy
true in our hearts with strength we can’t destroy
people hear us through our voice
the world knows there’s no choice
[chorus]
and the people in the neighborhood
they would if they only could
meet and shake the other’s hand
work together for the good of the land
give us all an equal chance
it could be such a sweet romance
and the soldiers who are dead and gone
if we could only bring back one
he’d say “we’ve got to have peace”
[outro]
we’ve got to have peace y’all, yeah
got to have peace
ohh we’ve got to have peace
peace, yeah
peace, yeah
got to have peace
peace (peace), peace (peace), peace (peace)
we’ve got to have peace
have peace
