Give Peace A Little Chance

WV2218/2025

Coloured pencils & soft pastel on Steinbach paper.

All that we say....

 

"t's a tired old world that we're living in

Where the voice of reason is wearing thin

Got a beaten earth, got a hole in the sky

Got a whole lot of angry people crying

"I want an eye for an eye"

 

Compassion sunk without a trace

All trust is gone, have we lost our faith

Got a taste for hate, got a lot of guns

Got a whole lot of family values bitching

"Just blame it on the young"

 

And a little peace goes a long long way

It's peace we want, for peace we pray

A little peace goes a long long way

It's peace we want, for peace we pray

Ain't so crazy, John Lennon knew

That a little peace goes a long long way when you want it to

 

We crush the ones who don't agree

Whose lifestyles clash with you and me

Got our TV sets full of talking heads

Got a whole lot of people walking around

Like the night of the living dead

 

Our summer of love has come and gone

Us sixties kids are getting on

We had a dream way back then

No reason why we can't dream again...."

 

A LITTLE PEACE - Words & lyrics Elton John & Bernie Taupin, 2004.
