Hurry! Jump Aboard the “Peace Train”!

“ 'Cause out on the edge of darkness, There rides a Peace Train Oh Peace Train take this country, Come take me home again” Cat Stevens

From the early 70’s to now, Cat Stevens’ “Peace Train” is a passional plea for peace—if succeeding generations had gotten on the peace train, what a different world we would have. The rhythm gets into your psyche and suddenly you’re singing it. Along with other great folk singers like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan; Pete Seeger; Peter, Paul, and Mary —the list goes on—a nation can form a vision of the future sung by future generations. Cat Stevens had that vision too. Have HOPE🇺🇸💙🕊️

Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday it's going to come

'Cause I'm on the edge of darkness
There ride the Peace Train
Oh, Peace Train take this country
Come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, 
Thinkin' about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, 
Something good has begun

Oh Peace Train sounding louder
Glide on the Peace Train
Come on now Peace Train
Yes, Peace Train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the Peace Train
Come on now, Peace Train

Get your bags together, 
Go bring your good friends, too
'Cause it's getting nearer, 
It soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, 
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, 
Soon it will all be true

Oh Peace Train sounding louder
Glide on the Peace Train
Come on now Peace Train
Peace Train

Now I've been crying lately, 
Thinkin' about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, 
Why can't we live in bliss

'Cause out on the edge of darkness, 
There rides a Peace Train
Oh Peace Train take this country, 
Come take me home again

Oh Peace Train sounding louder
Glide on the Peace Train
Come on now, Peace Train
Yes, Peace Train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the Peace Train
Come on, come on, come on
Yes, come on, peace train
Yes, it's the peace train

Come on now, peace train
Oh, peace train
