Peace Train
by Yusuf Islam
Peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya*
Come on peace train
Peace Train on its way
Oh I've been happy lately,
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
Some day it's going to come
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
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come on peace train,
Mmm, come take me home again,
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Mmm, come on peace train
Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya Ngise'Khaya,
Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
There rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
Come take me home again
Oh I've been smiling lately,
Thinking about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
Some day it's going to come
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on the peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come on the peace train,
Mmm, come take me home again,
Some day it's going to come,
Some day it's going to come,
Some day - some day,
Some day it's going to come
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?
Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya Ngise'Khaya,
Ngise'Khaya, Ngise'Khaya
Peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come on peace train,
Mmm, come take me home again
Peace Train on its way
Come take me home again
Come take me home,
come take me home
Come take me home again,
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Some day it's going to come,
Come take me home again,
Mmm, come on peace train
Peace Train on its way
Peace Train on its way
Peace Train
Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train,
Peace train take this country,
Come take me home again,
Come take me home again,
Come take me home...
* Zulu: "Take me home"

Stevens, but converted to Islam in 1977 and changed his name. His song
Peace Train inspired a generation of peace lovers to connect spirituality
with their activism. Yusuf currently operates a number of charities,
and has a Web site,www.yusufislam.org.uk/audio/peacetrain.shtml,
where you can hear his re-recording of the song, which he did this year.
