Live in Peace Lyrics

Early in the morning
Just as the sun was rising
Came without a warning
The sound of the uprising

Gunfire in the streets
Women and children crying
The crush of marching feet
Men and young boys dying

Why can't we live in peace

We live in the troubled times
The shadow of annihilation
Troubles every mind
And chills the heart of every nation

Darkness fills the night
She tries to steal your soul away
Killing in the sunlight
She spreads the shadow through the day

Why can't we live in peace
Why can we have no release

You and I we don't know why
So many people cry
You and I we don't know understand
The ways of mine

Why can't we live in peace
Why can we have no release
