Who holds the money, who holds the need
Who holds the strings of mystery, who holds the purse of greed
The gunmen reap, the gangsters sow
And law is cheap when the smugglers go

You hide your hope for days to come
You understand the bell has rung
The lies are honest, let missiles warm
You turn up your collar and walk out in the storm

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

In sun-kissed rooms in city slums
Minds are restless till the airmail comes
From the forest of the tropics to the desert of the western mind
For a chat show topic or a party line
And the hardest love of all is to forgive
As the world comes tumbling down

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

Let all the rain come down on blind desire
Like a thundercloud that holds a prairie fire
Prairie fire

I hear the blame, I hear the cause
A stronger voice, a stronger law
But buyers buy and sellers sell
The public consumption of a private hell

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time

(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
While I have a life to live
Then I have no life to give
(Give us peace) Give us peace in our time
