[Intro - John Lennon]
"Every country's had a violent revolution for one reason or the other, not one of them has the freedom we're all talking about. So we're saying 'give peace a chance', you know, like nobody's ever done it before. And it's not a matter of... we're not thinking in terms of ten years, we're thinking in terms of peace forever."
[Verse 1 - Jack Rootes]
Close your eyes, imagine our youth playing peacefully
Getting along with one another in their community
No fights, no feuds, no issues and no trouble
Not even a place which those things can bubble
Where a child can grow up to be a lawyer or doctor
Or even an eye in the sky in a news helicopter
As opposed to growing up with very little care
Risking being killed for the colours that they wear
Where the only gunfights they're in is make believe
And where Capture The Flag's the only time they're thieves
Where their family has enough money to pay the monthly rent
And it doesn't matter whether they're the 1 or the 99 percent
Where kids don't see poverty or homelessness on their streets
Where any problems they do have get solved in a heartbeat
Now open your eyes, how do those images make you feel?
Now ask yourself one question: Why can't they all become real?
[Hook - John Lennon]
