lyrics

Standing here watching all the people out there
It seams to me they look for something
It seams to me we look for the same thing
Peace of mind
Stop getting lost and confused
Take time to seek within ourselves
We’ve got a long journey ahead
So we should enjoy it

Cos’ every day we’re gonna feel in love in love
We want peace on this planet, yes

No matter what you do no matter what you believe
You may stay in tune with yourself
Planet earth it is our home
Its time to give her back some love and care...
