La la peace song - Al Wilson, The Oak Ridge Boys

What’s that sound, so profound

Over heads of children, Lord

As they pass

Sounds like thunder

But there’s no rain

This kind of thunder blows down

Doors and walls and things

Ah, somebody’s crying

For those dying

But no one knows

How long it’s gonna last

Steel birds falling to the ground

Not knowing what’s below

When the end comes, tell me now

Where we gonna go Oh, people, that’s my La la la la peace song

La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along

Oh, people, that’s my La la la la peace song

La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along

Oh, I’ll tell you why

It’s not safe to fly

You might get hijacked

To an unknown land

Desperate people seeking refuge

From corruption, oh By means of subterfuge

Oh, sabotage, men at large

Innocent people suffering

By another’s hand

Racial injustice dividing men

Allowing their hate to grow

Tell me, when’s it gonna end

Whoa, oh, people, that’s my La la la la la la la peace song

La la la la, tell me,

Why can’t we get along

Oh, people, that’s my La la la la la la la peace song

La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along

Oh, sing it with me now

Oh, hear me, that’s my La la la la la peace song

La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along

Oh, hear that sound, so profound

It’s the voice of people

Lord, hear them pray

Feel the strength of their words

Lead us not to temptation

Lest we go astray

Oh, people, that’s my La la la la peace song

La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along

Oh, that’s my La la la la la peace song

La la la la, tell me Why can’t we get along
