Tossin' and turnin' in your sleep
The state of affairs seem shaky
It's pilin' pretty deep
So you're askin' yourself deep down
"What can you do?"
To turn it all around and finally
See your way through
Earthquakes and famine, trouble in the East
The newspapers horror stories
Flirtin' with “the beast"
Hidin' under covers, tryin' not to see
Cultivatin' other lovers
Than the one you need to be

CHORUS
Peace will come, peace will come
Peace will come, when you begin it with you
Peace will come, peace will come
Peace will come when you begin it with you

Lookin' in a mirror everywhere you see
The whole world's reflectin' on it
Whatever we could be
Politician, trashman, shoe-shine boy
Go-go dancer, true romancer
No matter what the ploy
'Cause it's all the same difference
Forgettin' who we are
Missin' that misplaced memory
That everyone's a star
Whatever our position, if we live it with love
We can share a piece of Heaven now
Don't wait to rise above.

CHORUS
