Cliff Richard – Peace In Our Time lyrics
Go swiftly
The flags and drums can hypnotise
When glory has faded the dream
Is worth more than the prize
A twisting turning flame
And a freedom burning bright
Knows all of the names
And all of the games
Of the yellow, black and white
We've gotta have faith
To work it out
Faith and hope
Without any doubt
Give us strength to make a start
Put a song in our hearts...
We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
Cause you know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time
Softly, softly
When there is lightning in the sky
When the rivers are rising and
Trouble rolls in on the tide
We'll keep on keeping on
'Til all the tears are dry
We'll weather the storm
Welcome the dawn
Of tomorrow you and I
We've gotta have faith
And get it fast
Faith and hope
And make it last
Give us strength
To reach the stars
Put a song in our hearts
We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
Cause you know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time
We're raisin' the dust
It's heaven or bust
And we'll see this dream come true
We're gonna have faith (faith)
The road will be long
But there's hope (hope)
To carry us on
We'll have strength (strength)
We'll never go wrong
With this song in our hearts
We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
Cause you know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time
At the sign (sign)
Of the dove
Is gonna shine (shine)
On a wing
And a prayer
We'll be fine
Fine
Fine
We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
Cause you know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time
