About the Artist
Lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen Standing before you with something important to say With some trepidation I crave your attention but I'm not gonna let anything get 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, so Searching for peace Only to find disappointment is waiting Behind every door that we open Every catch, we release Brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen, I know that it isn't too late, For we as the people, the voice of freedom And we're open and clear, 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 People want peace
