VERSE(1):
I wish that I could say
The world was one and fighting was a fable,
And the greed would turn the tables;
I wish for peace,
I wish for peace.
VERSE(2):
I wish that I could see
A world that can be free with no more crying;
Oh, but some of us are trying;
I wish for peace,
I wish for peace.
BRIDGE:
Who will hold the children dear if there's a painful tear?
Who will chase the clouds away?
VERSE(3):
Why pretend that there's no God?
Why pretend that there's no love to wrap around you?
I speak justice to confound you;
I pray for peace,
I pray for peace,
I pray for peace.
I wish that I could say
