    by Cat Stevens


    Words and Music by Cat Stevens


    Now I've been happy lately
    Thinking about the good things to come
    And I believe it could be
    Something good has begun
    I've been smiling lately
    Dreaming about the world as one
    And I believe it could be
    Something good's bound to come

    For out on the edge of darkness
    There runs the peace train
    Peace train take this country
    Come take me home again

    Peace train sounding louder
    Ride on the peace train
    Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
    Come on the peace train
    Peace train's a holy roller
    Everyone jump upon the peace train
    Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
    This is the peace train

    Get your bags together
    Come bring your good friends too
    Because it's getting nearer
    Soon it will be with you
    Come and join the living
    It's not so far from you
    And it's getting nearer
    Soon it will all be true

    Peace train sounding louder
    Ride on the peace train
    Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
    Come on the peace train

    I've been crying lately
    Thinking about the world as it is
    Why must we go on hating?
    Why can't we live in bliss?

    For out on the edge of darkness
    There rides the peace train
    Peace train take this country
    Come take me home again

    Peace train sounding louder
    Ride on the peace train
    Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah
    Come on the peace train

    Come on, come on, come on the peace train...
