[Intro]
I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear

[Verse 1]
All round the world
Little children being born to the world
Gotta give them all we can til the war is won
Then will the work be done
Help them to learn (help them to learn)
Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn, (burn, baby burn)
Let us show them how to play the pipes of peace (play)
Play the pipes of peace

[Verse 2]
Help me to learn songs of joy
Instead of burn, baby, burn
Won't you show me how to play (how to play)
The pipes of peace (pipes of peace)
Play the pipes of peace

[Verse 3]
What do you say? (What do you say?)
Will the human race be run in a day? (In a day?)
Or will someone save this planet we're playing on?
Ohh, is it the only one, what are we gonna do?
Help them to see (help them to see)
That the people here are like you and me (you and me)
Let us show them how to play (how to play)
The pipes of peace (pipes of peace)
Play the pipes of peace
[Verse 4 x2]
Play the pipes and
Feel the vibes and
Tell somebody it will be alright and
Throw you light and let it
Shine so bright
Let me know everything is gonna be alright and

[Outro]
I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear
Hear, ooh
