Peace in Our Time Songtext
von Cliff Richard & The Shadows

Go swiftly
The flags and drums can hypnotise
When glory has faded
The dream is worth more than the prize

A twisting, turning flame
And a freedom burning bright
Knows all of the names
And all of the games
Of the yellow, black and white

We′ve gotta have faith to work it out
Faith and hope without any doubt
Give us strength to make a start
Put a song in our hearts


We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
′Cause you and I know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We′re gonna take love and make it shine
We′re gonna find peace in our time

Softly, softly
When there is lightning in the sky
When the rivers are rising and trouble rolls in on the tide
We'll keep on keeping on
Till all the tears are dry
We′ll weather the storm

Welcome the dawn of tomorrow, you and I
We've gotta have faith and get it fast
Faith and hope and make it last
Give us strength to reach the stars
Put a song in our hearts

We′re never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
'Cause you and I know what love is worth
We′re gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We're gonna take love and make it shine
We′re gonna find peace in our time


We′re raisin' the dust, it′s heaven or bust
And we'll see this dream come true
We′re gonna have faith (faith)
The road will be long but there's hope (hope)
To carry us on
We′ll have strength (strength)
We'll never go wrong
With this song in our hearts

We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
′Cause you and I know what love is worth
We′re gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We′re gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time
At the sign (sign) of the dove
We′re gonna shine (shine) shine (shine) shine
On a wing (sing) and a prayer
We'll be fine, fine, fine

We′re never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
'Cause you and I know what love is worth
We're gonna build a heaven on earth
We′re running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We′re gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time

We′re never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
'Cause you and I know what love is worth
We′re gonna build a heaven on earth
We're running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
We′re gonna take love and make it shine
We're gonna find peace in our time

We're never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with a stone
′Cause you and I know what love is worth
We′re gonna build a heaven on earth
