one word peace

Joe Cocker

A man stands on the corner holding a sign
People yell at him as they drive by
I wonder what they read, made them so upset
I looked at the sign and all it said:

One word: Peace
In the Neighborhood, Peace
One Word: Peace
In my own backyard, Peace

A man in a foreign land kneels to pray
And wonders where the bombs will fall today
Our leaders tell me to fear him you see
Love conquers all is what I believe

One word: Peace
In the neighborhood, Peace
One word: Peace
In My Own backyard, Peace

Everybody s talking about it
Everybody s got to have their say
But to achieve it, there is only one way
And it starts with me
and the word and the word is:

Peace
In the neighborhood
One word: Peace
In My Own backyard
Peace
One Word

One word: Peace
In the neighborhood, Peace
One word: Peace
In My Own backyard, Peace
