Peace and Prosperity (1896) Elihu Vedder, Library of Congress, Washington D.C. (public domain)

Now I’ve been happy lately,

Thinkin’ about good things to come

And I believe it could be

Something good has begun

So everybody jump on the Peace Train

Come on now, Peace Train

Next stop we make will be UAE

Tell all the folks in Morocco, Bahrain and Sudan, too

And let the train keep on riding, riding on through

Oh Peace Train sounding louder

Glide on Peace Train

Come on now Peace train

Yes, Peace Train holy roller

Everybody jump on the Peace Train

All of your brothers and sisters over in Africa

Tell all the folks in Saudi Arabia, and Palestine, too.

Don’t you know it’s time to get on board the Peace Train

So please don’t miss the train at the station

‘Cause if you miss it, I feel sorry, sorry for you

So people all over the world, join hands

And jump on the Peace Train, Peace Train

I’ve been feelin’ happy lately,

Thinkin’ about good relationships to come

And I believe it could be

Something good has begun.
