Текст песни One Word (Peace) - Joe Cocker

A man stands on the corner, holding a sign
People yell at him as they drive by
I wonder what they read, that made them so upset
I looked at the sign and all it said
One word, peace, gimme peace
In the neighborhood, peace
One word, some peace
In my own backyard (peace, one word)
A man in a foreign land kneels to pray
And wonders where the bombs will fall today
Our leaders tell me to fear and deceit
Love conquers all is what I believe
One word, peace
In the neighborhood, peace
One word, peace, what we need
In my own backyard (peace one word)
Everybody′s talking about it
Everybody's got to have their say
But to achieve it, there is only one way
And it starts with me and the word, yes the word is
Peace
Give me peace in the neighborhood (peace)
One word, peace, just some peace, Lord
In my own backyard
Peace one word!
Give me peace, give me peace
In the neighborhood, peace
Won′t you give me some peace
In my own backyard
