PEACE TRAIN (Cat Stevens)

      Now I've been happy lately
      Thinking about the good things to come
      And I believe it could be
      Something good has begun
      I've been smiling lately
      Dreaming about the world as one
      And I believe it could be
      Something good's bound to come

      For out on the edge of darkness
      There runs the peace train
      Peace train take this country
      Come take me home again

      Peace train sounding louder
      Ride on the peace train
      Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
      Come on the peace train
      Peace train's a holy roller
      Everyone jump upon the peace train
      Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
      This is the peace train

      Get your bags together
      Come bring your good friends too 
      Because it's getting nearer
      Soon it will be with you
      Come and join the living
      It's not so far from you
      And it's getting nearer
      Soon it will all be true

      Peace train sounding louder
      Ride on the peace train
      Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
      Come on the peace train

      I've been crying lately
      Thinking about the world as it is
      Why must we go on hating?
      Why can't we live in bliss?

      For out on the edge of darkness
      There rides the peace train
      Peace train take this country
      Come take me home again

      Peace train sounding louder
      Ride on the peace train
      Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
      Come on the peace train
      
      Come on, come on, come on the peace train...
