World Peace
From Andover to Anaheim
Bangor to Boise
People speak up
Come on, get noisy
From Carteret in Jersey
To Cameroon far away
Speak up everyone
If just for one day
From Detroit to Dallas
Eaton to Ecuador
Come on everyone
Speak up some more
From France and to Finland
Ghana to Greece
People speak up
To bring about peace
From Halifax to Haiti
Indiana to Iraq
If we all scream up
Peace might just come back
Jerusalem to Jersey
Killarney to Kildare
Peace can resurface
If together we share
Lisbon to Lima
Michigan to Maine
Let’s make one voice
For peace is the gain
Netherlands to New England
Oahu to Oslo
Come on everyone
Let’s give it a go
Poland to Pittsburgh
Queens to Qatar
With peace in our pockets
We all can go far
Roxbury to Riverhead
Salisbury to Siam
We’ll acquire the peace
Just as we plan
Togo and Tobago
Uruguay to Ulster
It can all come true
If we’re ready to muster
Venezuela to Venice
Wyoming to Whales
Keep peace in our sights
Our plan will not fail
To get to our Xanadu
We just cannot stop
Keep screaming for peace
We’ll soon see the top
Yugoslavia to Yemen
Zimbabwe to Zaire
Once peace has been gotten
We’ll have nothing to fear
Come on everyone! Scream!
