LIVE - 10,000 Years (Peace Is Now) lyrics

rate me

The world is burning down

Can't you smell the smoke in the air?

War, disease, and famine

This demon, she is everywhere

.

Poets and preachers and politicians

They've all had their say

And we got 10,000 years

Devoted to nothing

But tomorrow and yesterday

.

If all of the ignorance in the world

Passes a second ago

What would you say?

Who would you obey?

I am here to say that

.

Peace is now

.

Mr. President

I hereby pardon you of all your crimes

For they are just as much mine

.

Selfishness and separation have led me

To believe that the world is not my problem

The world is not my problem

I am the world

And you are the world

.

If all of the ignorance in the world

Passes a second ago

What would you say?

Who would you obey?

I am here to say that

.

Peace is now
