I see violence in the air
I see violence everywhere between black and white, young and old
I see knives, guns and nuclear bombs
I see people in green in the fields lying face down in the grass
And politicians and dictators laughing like they don't care
I see violence in the air
I see violence everywhere between black and white, young and old
I see the innocent being hunted and the guilty still on the street
And I ask myself how can we help?
We need to welcome peace
I see peace I see peace everywhere
I see no more deaths and more people in their families
I see soldiers returning home after their work in the field
I see everybody laughing and having fun
I see peace
I see peace I see peace everywhere
