Lyrics

Now more than ever
All family must be together
Every brother everywhere
Feels the time is in the air
Common blood flows through common veins
And the common eyes all see the same
Now more than ever
All the family must be together
Peace go with you brother
Though I ain't so proud anymore
Peace go with you brother
Recognition don't come cheap anymore
You're my lawyer you're my doctor yeah but somehow
You forgot about me
And now now when I see you
All I can say is peace (Peace)
Peace go with your brother (Peace)
Peace to you brother
Don't seem to matter much now just what I say
Peace go with you brother
You the kind of man who think he got to have his own way now
You're my Father you're my uncle and my cousin
And my son
But sometimes sometimes I wish you were not (Peace)
But I manage to smile and I say peace go with you brother (Peace)
Peace go with you brother
Don't make no sense for us to be arguing now
Time is right up on us now brother
Don't make no sense for us to be arguing now
All of your children and all of my children
Are gonna have to pay for our pay for our mistakes someday
Yes and until then may peace guide your way (Peace)
Yeah peace go with you brother (Peace)
Wherever you go peace go with you brother (Peace)
