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 going to let anything
Get in my way
The message is simple, it’s straight from my heart
And I know that you’ve heard 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 a lonely soul 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 are the people
The voices of freedom
And we’re all perfectly clear that we
Don’t want to 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
People want peace
People want peace
