Peace Has Broken Out Songtext
von Eric Bogle

Peace has broken out
The people have spoken out
We can have it now, peace!
Peace has broken out
The people have spoken out
We can have it now, peace!

The walls are tumbling down
Old hatred′s crumbling down
We can have it now, peace!

After all these years
After all these years
I can almost touch it
I can almost taste it
Never thought I'd see it, peace

Peace for the making
Peace for the taking
Peace for our children, peace!

After all these years
After all these years


Now is the time
We′ve been given one more chance
Reach out, reach out
And take the future in our hands
People arise and show your power
Seize the day, seize the hour
The future's here, the future's now!

The white dove′s winging now
A song she′s singing now
The gift she's bringing now is peace

Never thought I′d touch it
Never thought I'd taste it
Never thought I′d see it, peace

After all these years
After all these years

Now is the time
We've been given one more chance
Reach out, reach out
And take the future in our hands
People arise and show your power
Seize the day, seize the hour
The future′s here, the future's now!

Peace has broken out
The people have spoken out
We can have it now, peace!


Peace for the making
Peace for the taking
Peace for our children, peace!

After all these years
After all these years
After all these years
After all these years
