I said, peace! positivity! and soul!
Is all you need, to take control.
I said, peace, positivity and soul.
Keeping your head up
and let the good times roll.
Picture perfect, the world could be, baby,
But it can only be started by you and me.
With a peace sign up,
let your fists fall to the ground,
you got to stop the hatin’
and instead make a joyful sound.
I, I said put up a peace sign,
and stop the hatin’.
I , I said put up a peace sign,
and love one another!
I, I said put up a peace sign,
and stop the hatin’.
I , I said put up a peace sign,
Everybody!
There is right and there is wrong.
Give me a choice and it ain’t no choice at all.
Tell me what has hate ever solved?
Music and love to the one and all.
Oh ya! Peace, positivity and soul.
It’s all we’re looking for.
You got to feel the vibe.
Deep down inside you.
I, I said put up a peace sign,
and stop the hatin’.
I , I said put up a peace sign,
and love one another!
I, I said put up a peace sign,
and stop the hatin’.
I , I said put up a peace sign,
Everybody!
We all have a need to belong,
And maybe the hippies had it right all along.
Whether it’s a church, mosque,
temple or synagogue.
You know that love is the ultimate
Theme song.
I, I said put up a peace sign,
and stop the hatin’.
I , I said put up a peace sign,
and love one another!
I, I said put up a peace sign,
and stop the hatin’.
I , I said put up a peace sign,
Everybody!
