If We Ever Needed Peace

(アルバム： For The Sake Of Love - 1978)

The world as we know it today
Is in a pretty terrible fix
And we're responsible
It's up to us to try and start making changes for the better
For the future, for the children
If we ever needed peace, brotherhood and love
God knows we need it now, right now

The future of the world is clouded
From raging storms of war
It's headed for the total destruction of you and me
But it's not too late to save us
There's still time for us all
The sunlight of peace has got to shine through
Peace is essential
Together we can work it out
If we ever needed peace, we need it now
We are god's creation, and he loves us all
He put us on earth together to get along
Heaven is disappointing at the trouble we've caused
If we don't change our actions, then all is lost
Innocent people dying because men can't agree
The children suffer more than anyone
All the nations ought to practice
A lot more brotherhood
It would be a better world, when tomorrow comes
Brotherhood is essential
Together we can work it out
If we ever needed brotherhood, we need it now, now
(We need it now, right now)

We are god's creation, I know that he loves us all
He put us on earth together to get along
Heaven is disappointed at the trouble that men has caused
And if we don't change our actions, everything is lost
Sons disrespecting fathers, and fathers deserting sons
There's no more harmony in the home, lord have mercy
Mothers denying daughters kind words of advice
Then one day you discover, that love is gone, all gone
Love is essential, together we can work it out
If we ever needed love, we need it now, now
Peace is essential, together we can work it out
If we needed peace, we need it right now, now
Brotherhood is essential, together we can work it out
If we ever needed brotherhood, right now, right now
Love of love, together we can work it out
If we ever needed love, right now, right now, now
Peace is essential, yes we can work it out
