Lyrics:

1995
Writer(s): Cat Stevens, Yusuf Islam

I've been happy lately thinkin'
About the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun.

Oh, I've been smilin' lately
Dreamin' about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday its goin' to come.

'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides the peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again.

Oh, peace train soundin' louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train.

Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train.

Now get your bags together
Go bring your good friends too
Because its getting nearer
It soon will be with you.

Now come and join the living
Accept the point of view
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will all be true.

[Instrumental]

I've been cryin' lately
Thinkin' about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating
Why can't we love and live.

Oh, peace train soundin' louder
Ride on the peace train
Ooo, come on the peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Ooo, come on, come on, come on.

Yes peace train
Yes, its the peace train.
