Everybody`s got their cross to bear
You got yours and I got mine
Our hearts are beating to a different drum
The time has come to get in line
I say KNOCK KNOCK,
is there anybody out there
Anybody who knows it all
Or are you just another pessimistic hero
Waiting for the sky to fall
I ain`t here to draw no pretty little picture
Open up your eyes
I need some peace, a little peace
We got to get out alive
Chorus:
Peace in our time, peace in our mind
Everybody`s got their cross to bear
Tell me, where do we go from here
I need some peace in my mind
We need some peace in our time
Wake up, take a look around
Tell me what you think you see
There`s a whole lot of people in the lost and found
Looking for their liberty
There`s a prime time war on my TV screen
There`s a dope deal down on my city streets
And the only one who`s losing out
Is you and me
I ain`t here to paint no pretty little picture
We`re running out of time
I need some peace
A little peace
If we`re gonna survive
Chorus
Now I ain`t here to be no politician
Open up your mind
You better open up your eyes
