How is there going to be peace
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
How is there going to be peace
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Some people take much more than their share
Of the bounties of this land and that's not fair!
So many people got more than they need
While there're so many hungry mouths in the world to feed
And I will give my heart, so true
Yes, I will give my love for you
Tell me!
How is there going to be peace
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
How is there going to be peace
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Someone has taken my share
But they just don't give a damn, no, they don't care
So you'll just find as we'll face it
But there ain't no other way to erase it
But I will give my heart, so true
Yes, I will give my love for you
Tell me!
How is there going to be peace
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
How is there going to be peace
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
And I will give my heart, so true
Yes, I will give my love for you
Tell me!
How is there going to be peace
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
And I want you tell me how
Cause we've got to face it
Here we've got to erase it
And I know, and you know
This is how I've got to face it
Tell me how...
And I want you tell me how
Down in South Africa
So we livin' in a wise...
How is there going to be peace
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
Only way to find peace
Is to put some justice where there is injustice!
When there is no justice, oh no, oh
How is there going to be peace
