Prince Of Peace

Maroon Town


I don't know but I've been told about that brother 
The Prince of Peace walking around under cover 
Nobody knows so nobody tells 
About the Prince of Peace why don't you wish him well 
He's on a mission, the ultimate ambition 
To find peace with no opposition 
He wears the crown, cannot cut him down 
Dedication is his will do you hear the sound 

The Prince of Peace is coming from the East 
The Prince of Peace is coming from the East 

Born a prince to become a king 
The quest of peace is for what he would sing 
Although life is not glistening 
You get out what you are putting in 
He's got the brains, he's got the will 
He's got the nerve, he's got the skill 
No need to kill, there's a better way still 
Love and peace a mission to fulfil 
People yearning, hearts are burning 
Tongues get numb but we are still not learning 
From the past we may not last 
The coming of the prince is the only chance 

Sit down at the table join with peace 
There's a voice in the air and it's blowing from the East 
There is a message with a meaning 
Everybody must be free 
Come take a stand with the Prince of Peace 
Come make a stand with the Prince of Peace
