Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Something good's bound to comeFor out on the edge of darkness
There runs the peace train
Peace train take this country
Come take me home againPeace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Come on the peace train
Peace train's a holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
This is the peace trainGet your bags together
Come bring your good friends too
Because it's getting nearer
Soon it will be with you
Come and join the living
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be truePeace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Come on the peace trainI've been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating?
Why can't we live in bliss?For out on the edge of darkness
There rides the peace train
Peace train take this country
Come take me home againPeace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
Come on the peace trainCome on, come on, come on the peace train
