I light a candle to our love

In love our problems disappear

But all in all we soon discover

That one and one is all we long to hear

All round the world

Little children being

Born to the world

Got to give them all we can

Til the war is won

Then will the work be done

Help them to learn

Songs of joy instead of

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

The pipes of peace

Play the pipes of peace

What do you say?

Will the human race

Be run 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

That the people here

Are like you and me

Let us show them how to play

The pipes of peace

Play the pipes of peace

I light a candle to our love

In love our problems disappear

But all in all we soon discover

That one and one is all we long to hear
