Peace, love, peace
People let me tell you something
Something's been bugging my mind
We need a lot of the same thing
To leave our troubles behind
And if we're thinking the same way
Everything will be so fine
Respect for me, respect for you
The feeling is so divine
We need love and affection
When we're moving in the right direction
We need peace and unity
To survive in this racist community
We need love
We need love
People let me tell you something
Open your eyes, don't be blind
Just have faith and remember God
Keeps you always on your mind
From when you wake up in the morning
Until you're retiring
Until you're retiring
At night
In our hearts we must praise Him
And everything will be fine
We need love and affection
That's when we're moving in the right direction
We need peace and unity
To survive in this racist community
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love





We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
People let me tell you something
Don't throw your life out the door
All the fighting and the murdering
Judgment is coming for sure
There will be weeping and wailing
There will be no shade of faith
To all the scribes and Pharisees
And the wicked men out in the street
We need love and affection
That's when we're moving in the right direction
We need peace and unity
To survive in this racist community
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
People let me tell you something
There's something
Something's been bugging my mind
We need to light up the same thing
To leave our troubles behind
And if we're thinking the same way
Everything will be so fine
Respect for me
Respect for you
Feeling is so divine
We need love
And affection
That's when we're moving in the right direction
We need peace and unity
