People Want Peace Lyrics

[Intro]
Peace

[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen
Standing before you with something important to say
With some trepidation I crave your attention but
I'm not gonna let anything get in my way
The message is simple, it's straight from my heart
And I know that you've heard it before
But what does it matter, we're in it together
And I'm not quitting while people are crying for more

[Chorus]
People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace
People want peace

[Verse 2]
Nothing in life is as sad as the lonely, so
Searching for peace
Only to find disappointment is waiting
Behind every door that we open
Every catch, we release
A-brothers and sisters, I beg you to listen
I know that it isn't too late
For we as the people, the voices of freedom
And we're all perfectly [?] wait

[Chorus]
People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace
People want peace

[Outro]
People want peace
People want peace
Yes, we want peace!
People want peace
People want peace

With some trepidation I crave your attention but

People want peace
People want peace
A simple release from their suffering
People want peace
People want peace

Yes, we want peace!
People want peace

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
