PEACE IN OUR TIME
(P. Joseph, J. Wilson & T. Lee)
© Tartan Raggamuffin Publishing/Papertown Songs (1993)

Time, time is all we have to share this precious gift of life, again
In all you say, in everything you do,
for all our children's sake it all comes down to you

Peace in our time – is all we ever need
Peace in our time – is all we ever wanted

    The problems of the world come down to this star
    every man for himself or else you don't get far
    it's a personal problem on a larger scale
    don't let them tell you - it's a trick of the tale
    if someone thinks for you, then we don't get any nearer
    if you think for yourself the answer gets clearer

    Babylon come in a 'big brodder' style sah,
    offers a hand shake and an ear-to-ear smile
    'bout ‘everyting cool if you just reason with 'im’
    don't fret for your idren, look out for your problem
    drag a horse to water but you can't make him drink
    you can show a man a problem but you can't make him think
    but I'm a conscious man dep on de highway
    searching all around for peace in dis iwa
    with consciousness pure music I man find
    searching over yonder for peace in this time

It's a thought, it's only just a thought –
you can change it if you want, or you can not
It's a dream, a dream we all can share
break down the wall to find
