The world is burning down

Can't you smell the smoke in the air?

War, disease and famine

This demon, she is everywhere



Poets and preachers and politicians

They've all had their say

And we got 10,000 years

Devoted to nothing

But tommorow and yesterday

10,000 years (whoa)



If all of the ignorance in the world

Passed a second ago

What would you say?

And who would you obey?

I am here to say that



Peace is now

Peace is now

Peace is now

Peace is now



(Instrumental Interlude)



Mr. President?

I hereby pardon you of all your crimes

For they are just as much mine



Selfishness and seperation have led me to believe

That the world is not my problem

The world is not my problem

I am the world

And you are the world

And I yes I am the world

And you are the world



If all of the ignorance in the world

Passed a second ago

What would you say?

And who would you obey now?

I am here to say that



Peace is now

Peace is now

Peace is now

Peace must be now



(Yeah)

(Ohhh)



Peace is now

Peace is now

Peace is now

Peace is now



Peace is now

Peace is now

Peace is now (yeah)

(Peace is now)



Peace is now

(Peace is now)

(Peace is now)

(Peace is now)

(Peace is now)

(Peace is now)

(Peace is now)
