Richie Havens Peace Train song lyrics

now i've been happy lately, thinking about the good

things to come

and i believe it could be, something good has begun

cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace

train

oh i've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world

as one

and i believe it could be, some day its going to come

oh 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

oh peace train sounding louder

glide on the peace train

come on now peace train

yes, peace train holy roller

everyone jump upon the peace train

come on now peace train

get your bags together, go bring your good friends too

cause its getting nearer, it soon will be with you

now come and join the living, its not so far from you

and its getting nearer, soon it will all be true

now i've been crying lately, thinking about the world

as it is

why must we go on hating, why cant we live in bliss

cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace

train

oh peace train take this country, come take me home

again
