Make the sound of peace
And sing now
(Stop the war) ow (now)
Everybody
Donāt put it off another day
Make your voices roar
(Stop the war) ow (now)
Just like thunder, y`all
(Donāt put it off) hey, another day
Sing a song now
(Stop the war) ow (now)
Listen to me, y`all
(Donāt put it off) ow, another day
Listen to me
A knock on the door
Thereās a letter from the war
Sayinā, greetings, we want you
If I refuse to fight
They say that that ain`t right
And time youāll have to do
Somebody please tell me
What is war all about
And why must I kill against my will
I just canāt figure it out
Oh, stop the war now
Good God, hear me saying
Donāt put it off another day
Everybody saying
Stop the war now
Now, now, now
Donāt put it off another day
All we got to do is listen
(Give peace a chance)
Donāt throw another life away
Listen to me now
This is bout all the soldiers
That are dead and gone today
If you asked them to fight again
Huh, what do you think theyād say
Iām not trying to be funny
Iām just trying to get my point across
War is worldās enemy number one
And itās time that we called it off
Ow, stop the war, now
Good God, hear me saying
Donāt put it off another day
Everybody singing
(Stop the war) ow
Now, now, now, now
Donāt put it off another day
All we got to do is, Lord
Give peace a chance
And donāt, donāt throw
Another life away, oh
War casualties pile up each day
Cemeteries are overflowing
The leaders of the world claim victoryās near
But the death list keeps right on growing
And what does a mother get in return
For the life of the son sheās lost
A few measly pennies a month
A medal, a grave and a doggone cross
I said, stop the war now
Good God, hear me saying
Donāt put it off another day
Everybody sing
Stop the war, now
Now, now, now
Donāt put it off another day
Why canāt we just
(Give peace a chance)
Please donāt throw another life away
Canāt you see
Enough bloodās been shed
By the wounded and the dead
Enough bloodās been shed
By the wounded and the dead, ohh
Enough bloodās been shed
By the wounded and the dead, ohh
(Stop the war) listen (now)
Good God, everybody
(Donāt put it off) ow
Not another day now
(Stop the war) ow
Now, now, now, now
(Donāt put it off) ow, another day
This is a message to the
Leaders of the world
(Give peace a chance)
Oh, letās make
Tomorrow a brighter day
Stand up
