Lyrics:
You can hear the black drums rumbling
In the distance ,you can hear it in the winds: mournful disbelief
In the gentle, peaceful twilight
crows are gathering on the rooftops and the trees:shaking every leaf
Out beyond the purple, pink horizon
the rain deer see the red eyes of the beast
Why can't there be peace, peace on the earth.
Let all anger cease, someone must be first.
And why can't we believe, that war is a curse.
Why can't there be peace, peace on the earth ?
The helpless stars are weeping
The milkweed angels whisper as they soar,
over land and shore.
From the humble bumblebees,
out to the great whales in the sea, they know the roar
they have heard before.
Have you ever heard a planet screaming ?
Is there no solution, no relief ?
Why can't there be peace,peace on the earth.
Let all anger cease, someone must be first.
Why can't we believe, that war is a curse.
Why can't there be peace, peace on the earth
Why can't there be peace, peace on the earth
Let all anger cease, someone must be first.
Why can't we believe, that war is a curse.
And why can't there be peace, peace on the earth ?
