Peace Train

On this day in 1971, Cat Stevens released "Peace Train," which became his first U.S. Top-10 hit.



Peace Train
Now I've been happy lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately,
dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train

Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train
