Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I light a candle to our love
In love, our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear
[Verse 2]
All around the world
Little children being born to the world
Got to give them all we can
Till the war is won
Then, will the work be done
[Verse 3]
Help them to learn
Help them to learn
Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn
(Burn, baby, burn)
Let us show them how to play
The pipes of peace
(Play, the pipes of peace)
[Verse 4]
Help me to learn
Songs of joy instead of burn, baby, burn
Won't you show me how to play
(How to play)
The pipes of peace
(Pipes of peace)
(Play, the pipes of peace)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 5]
What do you say?
What do you say?
Will the human race be run in a day?
(In a day)
Or will someone save this planet we're playing on?
(Is it the only one?)
What are we gonna do?
[Verse 6]
Help them to see
(Help them to see)
That the people here are like you and me
(Like you and me)
Let us show them how to play
(How to play)
The pipes of peace
(Pipes of peace)
[Verse 7]
Play, the pipes of peace
I light a candle to our love
I love, our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discover
That one and one is all we long to hear
