All Good People of the Eart

Hold on, hold on, hold on it won't last long now
All good people of the earth, stand thy ground and claim thy worth
Stand thy ground and claim thy worth!

And though my knees might shake from the weight of the water
And though the dogs they bark so loud
When the prison door slams we’ll just sing all the louder
Crying peace, Oh we want peace, increase!
Crying peace, Oh we want peace, increase!

Say thy prayers, oh say em one by one
Lay thy body on the gun
For hate will not drive out hate
No only love will storm the gate
And reconcile this mess we make!

And though my knees might shake from the weight of the water
And though the dogs they bark so loud
When the prison door slams we’ll just sing all the louder
Crying peace, Oh we want peace, increase!
Crying peace, Oh we want peace, increase!

Lord let the weak find strength
Let not the workers hands sit idle
Until the poor have hope
And injustice shuts it’s mouth

And though my knees might shake from the weight of the water
And though the dogs they bark so loud
When the prison door slams we’ll just sing all the louder
Crying peace, Oh we want peace, increase!
Crying peace, Oh we want peace, increase!
We're crying
