O How I Long for Peace

Peggy Seeger


O how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
O how I long for peace

I cannot understand
How the sisters, wives and mothers
Cannot stop the slaughter
Of the husbands, sons and brothers

O how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
O how I long for peace

There never will be peace
Till men abandon fighting
As the way to deal with problems
That prevent us from uniting

O how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
O how I long for peace

The profits made from war
There's few that can resist them
Hypocrisy and greed control
The lifeblood of our system

O how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
O how I long for peace

The Earth can wait no longer
For political permission
Sit down, disrupt, do anything
To make the whole world listen

O how I long for peace
Among the peoples and the nations
How I long to halt the plunder
Of the wonders of creation
O how I long for peace
