Peace Train Lyrics

[ Cat Stevens ]
[ Banned from later U.S. copies of In My Tribe due to Cat Stevens` agreement to
the fatwah issued against Salman Rushdie ] 

Now I`ve been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come 
And I believe it could be, something good has begun 

Oh I`ve been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one 
And I believe it could be, some day it`s going to come 

Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train 
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again 

Now I`ve been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come 
And I believe it could be, something good has begun 

Oh peace train sounding louder 
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah 
Come on now peace train 
Yes, peace train holy roller 
Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah 
Come on now peace train 

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too 
Cos it`s getting nearer, it soon will be with you 

Now come and join the living, it`s not so far from you 
And it`s getting nearer, soon it will all be true 

Oh peace train sounding louder 
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah 
Come on now peace train, peace train 

Now I`ve been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is 
Why must we go on hating, why can`t we live in bliss 

Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train 
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again 

Oh peace train sounding louder 
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah 
Come on now the peace train 
Yes peace train holy roller 
Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah 
Come on, come on, come on 
Yes come on peace train 
Yes it`s the peace train 
Oh ah ee ah oh ah 
Come on now peace train 
Oh peace train
