why let this world weigh
on your shoulders
pick it up push it off
before you let yourself colder
just look into the eyes
the good eyes
of a child and see
that love rise like a river
and flow for a thousand miles
to give me some
peace love happiness
peace love happiness
peace love happiness
peace love happiness

breathe in deep
feel your heart beat
just to know
that life's worth living
feel your feet on the earth
you gotta (better) love it
while it's still here spinning
I got no time to worry
about troubles or misgiving
just let it go
let yourself flow
cause if you're hating
then you sure ain't living
gimme some

peace love and happiness

lotta people talking
need somebody to listen
lots of people struggling
if you got
then you better start
giving a little more

peace love and happiness

how can we eat this daily bread
when so many people starving?
how come the president
builds more bombs
instead of just disarming?
with all that money
spends on guns instead of food
and education
we need to buy
a little peace and love
instead and start
the healing of the nations

gimme some
peace love and happiness
