We Got to Have Peace (Eddie Baez Laid Back Mix) Lyrics


We got to have peace
To keep the world alive
And war to ceaseWe got to have joy
True in our hearts
With strength we can't destroyPeople hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choiceWe're begging to save the children
The little ones
Who just don't understandGive them a chance
To breed their young
And help purify the landPeople hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choiceAnd the people in our neighborhood
They would if they only could
Meet and shake the other's hand
Work together for the good of the landGive us all an equal chance
It could be such a sweet romance
And the soldiers who are dead and gone

If only we could bring back oneHe'd say, "We got to have peace
To keep the world alive
And war to ceaseWe got to have joy
True in our hearts
With strength we can't destroyPeople hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choiceAnd the people in our neighborhood
They would if they only could
Meet and shake the other's hand
Work together for the good of the landGive us all an equal chance
It could be such a sweet romance
And the soldiers who are dead and gone
If only we could bring back oneWe got to have peace
We got to have peace
Let the world knowPeace, peace, peace
We got to have peacePeople hear us
Through our voice the world knows
There's no choiceSave the children
Save the children
Save the childrenAnd the people in our neighborhood
Who would if they only could
Meet and shake the other's hand
Work together for the good of the landGive us all an equal chance
It could be such a sweet romance
And the soldiers who are dead and gone
If only we could bring back oneWe got to have peace
We got to have peaceLet the people singin'
Peace, peace, peace
We got to have peaceI sing peace, peace, peace
We got to have peace
Peace, peace, peace
We got to have peace

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, Illinois. Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous.
