why let this world weigh on your shoulders   pick it up push it off   before you let yourself colder   just look into the eyes   the good eyes of a child and see   that love rise like a river   and flow for a thousand miles   to give me some   peace love happiness   peace love happiness   peace love happiness   peace love happiness         breathe in deep   feel your heart beat   just to know that life's worth living   feel your feet on the earth   you gotta (better) love it   while it's still here spinning   I got no time to worry about troubles or misgiving   just let it go   let yourself flow   cause if you're hating   then you sure ain't living   gimme some      peace love and happiness      lotta people talking   need somebody to listen   lots of people struggling   if you got   then you better start giving a little more      peace love and happiness      how can we eat this daily bread   when so many people starving?   how come the president builds more bombs   instead of just disarming?   with all that money   spends on guns instead of food and education   we need to buy a little peace and love   instead and start the healing of the nations      gimme some   peace love and happiness
