PIPES OF PEACE 

Paul McCartney

I light a candle to our love

In love, our problems disappear

But all in all, we'll soon discover

That one and one is all we long to hear

​

All around the world

Little children being born to the world

Got to give them all we can ′til the war is won

Then will the work be done?

​

Help them to learn (help them to learn)

Songs of joy instead of "burn, baby, burn" (Burn, baby, burn)

Let us show them how to play

The pipes of peace

Play the pipes of peace

Help me to learn

Songs of joy instead of "burn, baby, burn"

Won't you show me how to play (how to play)

The pipes of peace? (Pipes of peace)

Play the pipes of peace

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

​

What do you say? (Do you say)

Will the human race be run in a day? (In a day)

Or will someone save this planet we're playing on?

Is it the only one?

What are we gonna to do?

​

Help them to see (help them to see)

That the people here are like you and me (like you and me)

Let us show them how to play (how to play)

The pipes of peace (pipes of peace)

Play the pipes of peace

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

​

I light a candle to our love

In love our problems disappear

But all in all, we soon discover

That one and one is all we long to hear
