Everybody's got their cross to bear You got yours and I got mine Our hearts are beating to a different drum The time has come to get in line I say Knock Knock Is there anybody out there? Anybody who knows it all Or are you just another pessimistic hero Waiting for the sky to fall I ain't here to draw no pretty little picture Open up your eyes I need some peace, a little peace We got to get out alive Peace in our time, peace in our mind Everybody's got their cross to bear Tell me, where do we go from here I need some peace in my mind We need some peace in our time. Wake up, take a look around Tell me what you think you see There's a whole lot of people in the lost and found Looking for their liberty There's a prime time war on my tv screen There's a dope deal down on my city streets And the only one who's losing out Is you and me I ain't here to paint no pretty little picture We're running out of time I need some peace A little peace If we're gonna survivechorusnow I ain't here to be no politician, open up your mind You better open up your eyeschorus
