I want peace... I want some sweet relief
from all these troubles and worries...
Send help in a hurry!
I want hope...
I don’t want the end of a rope
I wanna be optimistic,
not just some statistic!
I want space... I want a quiet place
with room to live and to grow, to come and to go...
I want time... I don’t wanna waste what is mine
I wanna use what I’m given and really start livin!
Is it any wonder that we wonder what went wrong?
Is there any way we can make it right?
Is there any reason that it has to take so long
to get along and give up the fight?
I want health... I don’t want no riches or wealth
I want the wages I’ll earn and the lessons I’ll learn...
I want strength... I wanna go the length
to do whatever I can to lend a hand...
Chorus
I want peace... I want some sweet relief
from all these troubles and worries...
Send help in a hurry!
I want hope...
I don’t want the end of a rope
I wanna be optimistic,
not just some statistic!
I want peace...
I want peace...
