A letra:
Now
I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And
I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, I've been
smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it
could be
Someday it's going to come
'Cause I'm on the edge
of darkness
There ride the Peace Train
Oh, Peace Train take
this country
Come take me home again
Now I've been smiling
lately,
Thinkin' 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 it's getting nearer,
It soon will be with you
Now come and join the
living,
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer,
Soon it will all be true
Oh Peace Train sounding
louder
Glide on the Peace Train
Come on now Peace Train
Peace
Train
Now I've been crying
lately,
Thinkin' about the world as it is
Why must we go on
hating,
Why can't 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
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, come on, come on
Yes, come on, peace
train
Yes, it's the peace train
Come on now, peace
train
Oh, peace train
