| What’s that sound, so profound
|
| Over heads of children, Lord
|
| As they pass
|
| Sounds like thunder
|
| But there’s no rain
|
| This kind of thunder blows down
|
| Doors and walls and things
|
| Ah, somebody’s crying
|
| For those dying
|
| But no one knows
|
| How long it’s gonna last
|
| Steel birds falling to the ground
|
| Not knowing what’s below
|
| When the end comes, tell me now
|
| Where we gonna go Oh, people, that’s my La la la la peace song
|
| La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along
|
| Oh, people, that’s my La la la la peace song
|
| La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along
|
| Oh, I’ll tell you why
|
| It’s not safe to fly
|
| You might get hijacked
|
| To an unknown land
|
| Desperate people seeking refuge
|
| From corruption, oh By means of subterfuge
|
| Oh, sabotage, men at large
|
| Innocent people suffering
|
| By another’s hand
|
| Racial injustice dividing men
|
| Allowing their hate to grow
|
| Tell me, when’s it gonna end
|
| Whoa, oh, people, that’s my La la la la la la la peace song
|
| La la la la, tell me,
|
| Why can’t we get along
|
| Oh, people, that’s my La la la la la la la peace song
|
| La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along
|
| Oh, sing it with me now
|
| Oh, hear me, that’s my La la la la la peace song
|
| La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along
|
| Oh, hear that sound, so profound
|
| It’s the voice of people
|
| Lord, hear them pray
|
| Feel the strength of their words
|
| Lead us not to temptation
|
| Lest we go astray
|
| Oh, people, that’s my La la la la peace song
|
| La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along
|
| Oh, that’s my La la la la la peace song
|
| La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along |
