I light a candle to our love
In love our problems disappear
But all in all we soon discoverThat one and one is all we long to hear
All ′round the world
Little children being born to the world
Got to give 'em 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 going 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 (pum, pum, pum-)
In love our problems disappear (pum, pum, pum-)
But all in all, we soon discover (pipes of peace, what we really want the pipe)
That one and one is all we long to hear
