LYRICS
Now I've been happy lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh
I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come
Cause
out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again
Now
I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh
peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone
jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train
Get
your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you
Now
come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true
Now
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
Cause
out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again
