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
