[Verso 1]
Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
[Verso 2]
Oh, I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday it's going to come
[Verso 3]
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Peace train take this country
Come take me home again
[Verso 4]
Now I've been smiling lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
[Chorus
Peace train sounding louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
Peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train
Ooh-wah-ee-ah-ooh-ah
Come on peace train
[Verso 5]
Get your bags together
Go bring all your good friends, too
'Cause it's getting nearer
Soon it will be with you
[Verso 6]
Now come and join the living
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true
[Coro]
[Verso 7]
Now I've been crying lately
Thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating
Why can't we live in bliss
[Verso 8]
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Where peace train take this country
Come take me home again
